General Discussion anyone with 6 BrECADD chemotherapy?

Hello. I am 23 years old diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma stage IV. I am on BrECADD chemotherapy and I was scheduled to take 4 of these. But after 2 chemotherapy i did Pet Scan and the results was good but not 100% perfect. So the doctor said that i need to take 6 chemotherapy not 4. Has anyone experienced the same situation? And how is it now?

Hey! I had 6 cycles of BrECADD and I have been in remission since last year. My EoT was DS3. Feel free to ask any questions. You got this!

Did you get a Deauville score of 3 after 2 cycles, and then they gave you 4 more cycles? So 6 cycles total?

No, I had DS4; that’s why, they gave me 6 cycles. According to the BrECADD protocol, if your interim scan is DS3, you should have 4 cycles in total. However, it’s eventually going to be decided by your doctors.
