Lymphoma

My father is 87 and has been diagnosed  with aggressive  large B Cell Lymphoma. Stage 4

Chemotherapy  he couldn't  cope and other therapies so the doctors  have stopped  his treatment  and said nothing  further they can do. So how long can a person survive  if there is no treatment  been given?

Parents
  • Hi, I'm so sorry to read about your fathers condition, my dad has also been diagnosed with B cell lymphoma, he had been getting chemo but after last MRI we have been told the chemo is not working and the tumour has progressed, I'm not sure what happens next because they have stopped the matrix chemo and put him on steroids.

     

    I hope your father is keeping well, if you could share your experience now I would be so grateful, feeling lost and have no idea what we are going to face 

     

    thank you

  • Hi Thank you for message. I'm sorry too to hear about your  father. 

    My father is not on any steriods. All his treatments  have been stopped due to his fraility due to his age.

    The gp has started making home visits to see How's he coping  and also  my father  has  been referred  to palative  care which they say is not needed now but things could change  any moment.

    You just have to be strong and have courage  to face the reality. Believe  me you feel much stronger  if you face the reality. 

     

    All the best

  • Thank you for your reply, I really hope you and your family get support and love and best wishes to your father x
