Hi Shirley-C and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to read that you have required treatment for lymphoma.

Thank you for sharing your results.

A Deauville score is used to look at how active the lymphoma is after treatment. The score goes from 1 to 5. A lower score (like 1, 2 or sometimes 3) often means the cancer has responded well and may be in remission. A higher score (4 or 5) can mean there is still some active disease.

Remission is not decided on scan results alone. It has to be  interpreted  with your overall case, type of lymphoma, and other results such as blood results.   

Your hospital specialist is the best person to explain what your score means for you. Please contact them so they can go through your results and answer any questions you may have.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support

It might help to talk things through with one of our nurses on the helpline. You can call for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm

Kind regards

Tina
