Hello there

I've posted in this forum 2 weeks ago about my mum having a lump stuck in her ribs. Back then, while we were waiting for the biopsy report to know determine if the tumour is benign or malignant, my mum constantly thought about giving up treatments as the solution offered to her is too risky for her age. We're worried that she may fall into depression and at a lost of what to do.

Last week, the doctor suddenly called for her to make her way down to the hospital while I was working, because the biopsy results came earlier than expected. I wasn't informed and had only learn about the results from my mum herself when I reached home. Mum was very cheerful, she said it was premalignant and there is no plan for surgery at the moment. The doctor advised chemotherapy to shrink the tumour. She also added that her condition is "nothing serious" so she would only require 1 cycle of chemo (for a week) and follow up 3 months later.

I've received a letter from the hospital with her chemotherapy appointment/ schedules and it turns out to be quite different from what mum expect. The letter said that she will be undergoing 6 cycles of R-Chop, with 3 weeks break in-between each cycle. I'm really worried that mum is keeping something from me, or that she has not digest what the doc said the last time hence what she told me might not be as accurate. I've tried contacting the hospital but couldn't manage to reach the doctor in charge.. 

I was just wondering.... is it common to have R-Chop as a treatment for precancer? From what I've found online, they say it is mostly used to treat Non Hodgkin Lymphoma.. and having 6 cycles of it may not classify her condition as "nothing serious".. I'm at a lost of what to do since I couldn't reach her doctor, and my mum is really cheerful so I should try to be optimistic so as not to affect her..
