R-DHAP

Hi,  I haven't been on for about 3 years when my husband was diagnosed with NHL.  His treatment went well and we thought it was all behind us.  However, the monster is back.  He is due to start the recovery chemotherapy R-DHAP within the next week and I would like to hear from anyone else who has been through it, good experiences and bad so that we can be prepared.

 

Many thanks

  • Hello Petal,

    I just wanted to welcome you back to Cancer Chat although I am really sorry to hear that your husband's cancer has come back. 

    I hope that the R-DHAP recovery chemotherapy will go well. We have some good information on R-DHAP in our patient information website which you can read here. This obviously doesn't replace talking to people with direct experience of R-DHAP and I hope that someone will be along soon to talk to you about this treatment. If you have any questions, don't hesitate also to call our nurses on 0808 800 40 40 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. They also have an 'Ask the Nurses' section on the forum where you can drop them a line any time you have a question.

    Fingers crossed someone will be along soon to talk to you about the treatment your husband is about to start.  We wish him the very best of luck with his treatment and please keep us updated as to how it's going!

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
