Wow what a great video, very informative, I was diagnosed with stage 4b MCL, unfortunately my cancer wasn’t detected and remained indolent until it finally became aggressive. Symptoms included extreme weight loss, cramping in legs and groin, increased itching all over body, veins also became more pronounced, I had a massively enlarged spleen measuring 28.8cm, and it was decided I would need intense chemotherapy and targeted steroid, R-Chop regimen would be the best treatment plan, along with an autologous stem cell transplant, it has been a challenging process, but I am nearly 1 year since my stem cell transplant, and I am managing to stay free of lymphoma, which is a credit to my medical team, London Bridge Hospital 👊🙏 you are the best, despite being given just months to live without immediate medical intervention. I am still recovering from the after effects of the chemotherapy, and suffer with joint pains. But I am still here and will continue to fight to be here, for the future ❤.

R = the monoclonal antibody D = dexamethasone - a steroid H, A = double dose of cytarabine P = cisplatin You will need to be well hydrated to protect your kidneys & bladder.
