New to the chat - diagnosed with DLBCL after 4 years of watch & wait

Hi everyone, been on watch and wait for 4 years with Follicular NHL that has transforrned in to DLBCL, due to start pola rchp at the end of the month.

  • Hello Richardinnorwich and a big welcome to our forum, 

    I am sorry to hear that your follicular NHL has transformed into Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and I wanted to wish you the best of luck with the start of your treatment at the end of the month. I hope that treatment will go well and that you are feeling ok at the moment about starting treatment soon.

    We have detailed information on our website on polatuzumab vedotin with R-CHP also known as Pola-R-CHP which I hope you will find useful and don't hesitate to ring our helpline too on this free number 0808 800 4040 Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if there is anything you would like to discuss or ask more about (though the helpline will be exceptionally closed this Tuesday 12th May). 

    I hope that you will also hear from the experiences of other members of our forum who have been through something similar before and have had a DLBCL diagnosis and the same treatment plan. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
