Large cell lymphoma with unfavorable prognosis



Hi all

Let me create a new discussion to search for advice and testimonials.
My mom, 70 years old, was diagnosed with an NHL now 10 years ago.
Lymphoma has remained almost "transparent" until the last few months or it has enormously gained in aggression to become a large cell lymphoma.

It is followed in Saint Louis (Paris). Lymphoma did not attack the organs but lymph nodes grow in the neck, on the groin and inside the body. Lately, a magnification next to the bladder prevented to urinate.
I imagine we are between Stage 3 and stage 4 because the doctors did not express us a stage.

After 3 different Chemotherapys tested over the last 3 months, none were effective and the lymph nodes took their places 8 to 10 days after a cure.
The doctors told us that our mom was not "receptive to chemo" and that there was no treatment left, that they were going to place her in palliative care. In the end, she's in the middle.
Our mom chose to fight and insist on receiving a new cure.

At the time I write to you, our mom always fights, after 2 transtheres and all these cures, she lost a lot of weight and barely a little to eat.
It follows chemo every two weeks consisting of injections and pills, and takes cortisonne every day to prevent the "remagnification of the lymph nodes".
It keeps it well, we hardly see these magnification.
It seems that 2 factors prevent it from receiving an autograft:
-his age, 70 years.
-The fact that she has not experienced any remission.
The Medical Corps considers the battle lost and focuses on the symptoms.

So I would have liked to know if you had already seen/read/known this type of story with a body not responding to the different lines of chemo.
If happy ending there is, perhaps you would have some advice to seek remission.

Thank you very much for your help, hoping to send a little hope to my mom to continue the fight.
