What Does This CT Scan Regarding Diffused Large B Cell Lymphoma Indicate?

default
Posted on Wed, 20 Aug 2014
Question: Greetings

I was diagnosed with Diffused Large B Cell Lymphoma in 2013 February. I went through the following treatments:

(1) 6 cycles of CHOP-R and in addition they gave 3 doses of methotroxate chemo (March 2013)

(2) ICE, BEAM followed by Stem Cell Transplant (November 2013)

(3) 20 doses of Radiation. (March 2014)



Latest CT scan report as of XXXXXXX 15 2014 is shown below.

According to my hematologists they have nothing more to do and I have less than one year to live!

I would very much appreciate if anyone could suggest any new drug therapy or alternative therapy that could save my life

Since you are having bilateral new adrenal and renal masses as well as a new left perinephric mass, suggesting progressive Diffused Large B Cell Lymphoma and you have been treated previously with different chemotherapy regimens some new drugs which are under clinical research like Alisertib, Everolimus and Bortezomib can be tried in your case.

Hope i have answered your query.
