Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / April 2004Lymphoma Bone Biopsy
Well just got back my results from the Bone biopsy it is negative no activity in the bones which the onocoligist says is great news said he would go over the new CT with me Tomorrow before my first CHOP+R he seemed pleased that the bone biopsy was negitive and said that was good news. Wish he would of said something about the CT kinda makes me wonder? Oh well I guess I will find out tomorrow on the CT just wanted to keep all informed I was sweating bullets on the Bone Biopsy what a relief one less thing to worry about. Stew that is such great news. I know when I had that test done, being told "negative" was music to my ears. Good luck with your treatment. Rose...who has been in remission for NHL since Sept. of 2000. whaahoo >Stew that is such great news. I know when I had that test done, being >told "negative" was music to my ears.

The standard for treatmrent for lymphoma you had negitive bone mets right? but was your treatment for lymphoma not CHOP+R and RADS? My onocoligist said that is the standard treatment for lymphoma.

My onocoligist said that is the standard treatment for lymphoma. C H O P +R I did not have Radiation or CHOP+R.. I was given 6 months of Fludarabine. I dont think there is a "standard". I thought it depended on stage and locations of the enlarged lymph nodes that are involved. Steph could you answer this please.

Rose CHOP is more or less a standard for intermediate or high grade lymphoma. Earlier stages get less CHOP, later get more. Rituximab is added often. Radiation may be used for bulky disease. There is no "standard" standard. |
