Will R-Chop Therapy Cure Nodal Mass Completely?

Hi doctor, This is Mearaj (31 year old ) . Few months ago I got a node developed over my neck which was surgically removed. The biopsy report revealed NHL , stage III, (low grade), And for its treatment I have been advised for R-Chop.(immuno therapy). I have received three cycles of R-Chop so far & within couple of going to receive fourth one. CT Scan revealed nodal mass in my abdominal mesentric muscles . Bone marrow aspiration test was clear , didn t show any evidence of lymphoma in my bone marrow. Now I am concerned , will R-Chop therapy cure this completely? Can I live again a new life ? Please advise , With thanks & Regards, Mearaj

Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Sorry to know your diagnosis and the treatment you are going .

It is saddening to know that you have mesenteric nodal mass too and you are already taking R-Chop therapy.
I would advise you to get the mesenteric lymph nodes removed and subjected to histo-pathology reports to confirm whether they are due to Non-hodgkin's lymphoma - NHL or something else, as your bone marrow biopsyt is normal
