Shelley...Has the doctor

Shelley...Has the doctor considered CHOP-R? I was diagnosed six years ago with stage 4 diffused small cell lymphocytic lymphoma. I was suppose to go through 9 treatments, but responded well after 6. Three years later I fell out of remission and then took Fludoribine (not sure of spelling) and Rituxan. For the past two years I've been on Rituxan every six months. I hope this helps and I wish you well.
