Has anyone had a friend or family member w/ Double-Hit Diffuse Large B-Cell, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma?

2. My brother had NHL 2x

Not sure which kind. 1st time was in 1997. Had aggressive chemotherapy and a year of interferon shots after that.
22 years (!) later he has a recurrence. This time he recognized the symptoms and went to the oncologist promptly. They did a bone marrow biopsy and determined it had not spread to his bones, so he was a good candidate for an autologous (self) bone marrow transplant. Thankfully he lives near Hershey Medical Center, Penn State’s teaching hospital, and got great care. The transplant involved more intense chemotherapy before they could harvest the bone marrow. He had to spend a month in isolation at the hospital as he had no immune system for a while. (This all took place in 2019 THANK GOD.) anyway 2 years later he’s doing great, gets periodic blood work and scans, all great so far. He’s 68.
Best of luck with your mom. Docs told my brother that NHL is a “treatable” cancer unless it spreads to the brain. He got 22 years the 1st time and hope many more this time.
