Thank you Lori, Sheri and dunewalker,
I really appreciate your comments, stories and support! Sorry about the confusing comment about how someone might feel after treatment 5 days and on. For some reason I thought the affects of Rituxun and Bendamustine were ongoing. So happy that everyone seems to do so good on this treatment. I was also told my PET scan lit up and that they may need to add
R-CHOP.
I am glad the car accident revealed the lesion. But it has been a rough time. In March of 2024 I had lung cancer and had left lower lung removed. 5 months later I had breast cancer and had a lumpectomy. Almost two years to the day I got the FL diagnosis. At the time of the breast cancer I was having hot flashes at 72? The oncologist at the time didn't feel these were related to the breast cancer. I wonder now if it is the FL causing these. I am normally a hot sweaty person (hyperhidrosis) and that complicates this symptom. But it is different and definitely hot flashes. Yuck. I also am itchy at times and mostly at night. Yikes. I also had been occasionally having strong tiredness that would come on suddenly. Weird. Has anyone experienced these kind of symptoms prior to treatment? Has anyone had hair loss? Weight loss?
Today is my chemo education video class and I am sure questions will be answered.
Thank you again for your support!
Joanie
