Hi everyone! Wanted to ask if anyone had a similar test result post remission and what their plan was.

I (33F) was diagnosed with NLPHL in June 2023 and completed 4 rounds of RCHOP. I’ve been in remission since September 2023.

Last month, I got a blood infection in the same arm I had lymphoma. I did a few rounds of antibiotics and everything seems okay. I had my lab draw for my oncologist last week and they noted elevated LDH of 277.

All my other labs are normal, such as CRP and ESR - and this is my first time having a high LDH.

My oncologist said they weren’t worried, but also wanted to do a PET scan to check.

I guess I’m feeling a little worried and unsure if I need to ask follow up questions with my doctor.

Thank you!
