NHL R-chop failed

My nan was diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma. She has almost completed her rchop, one more left on Wednesday. But a recent scan has shown it has only worked on some parts. Not her lung. She's in her 80s, radiotherapy was mentioned but I can't help but feel like they're going to give up on her. Sorry to have to post here with something so negative but I can't let them give up on my nan after she has put up such a good fight. Is it likely she will be offered the radiotherapy does anyone know? I know no one knows 100% but I just can't sleep or think about anything else. Thank you. 

  • Hello Natleigh

    I'm sorry to hear that your Nan has had some mixed results from her current treatment regime. It's understandable that you are feeling concerned about what the next steps may be for her. 

    It's impossible for us to say what further treatment options may be available at her Consultant will need to take many factors into consideration when making their recommendations. 

    You might find it helpful to talk through some of your concerns with one of our team of nurses. You can call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    I hope that her last rchop goes smoothly tomorrow and that the next appointment brings some positive news for you all. 

    Best wishes,
