Hi,
We have recently found out my father has to have STEM cell therapy for his NHL. He had RCHOP and relapsed about a week after last round of chemo, he has recently completed Gemcitabine and is due a scan next week, however his consultant even before having the scan has told him he wants my father to have STEM cell. My father is worried deep down but trying to be brave. I believe he is having it as a preventative measure rather than he hasn't responded to chemo. Although he relapsed after RCHOP he did respond well and to Gemcitabine. The consultant even said the lump in his groin had gone down more than what they had expected it to. Basically what I'm really wondering is how many people in the UK have stem cell for NHL. I can't find anything online and my father is concerned they are doing it because he's not responding very well. I'm trying to convince otherwise but I understand as he is the one going through it he's naturally going to be concerned .
Thank you.
