A member asked:
Husband diagnosed with diffused large b cell lymphoma and the ldh level is 169 within the normal range . does by any chance his ldh number predict the stage ? he has app for pet scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LDH does not predict the stage but a normal LDH is a very good sign. The PET scan will better inform you about the stage. I know this is a difficult time for you and your husband but stay strong and take one day at a time, get the treatments offered and I am hoping for the best for you.
