Treatment for NHL: Rituximab & Bendamustine

Hi. I had R-CHOP every 3 weeks back in 2015 for very advanced DLBCL, which is a Non-hodkins Lymphoma. Mine had settle pretty much everywhere in my bones, but not touched any organs. I didn't need any radiotherapy, which I was very pleased about. I was 66 at the time. I am now 4.5 years in remission. The only thing that got from my chemo was peripheral neuropathy in both my feet, which has not gone away. For me, it is debilitating, although not painful. It feels like I am earing socks with superglue in them. Weird. Your Oncology nurse will mention peripheral Neuropathy to you, I am sure. Discuss it at length. See what can be done to avoid it. Not all patients get it. Worth talking about it with the doctor as well. Best of luck. Treatments for NHL today is very successful.

Hi Chuck,

I had rituximab and bendamustine, and many other chemotherapy infusions for initially stage 4b hodgkin's lymphoma. Lots of fatigue, but had R-chop chemotherapy infusions prior. My body became acclimated in about 2 months during treatment. The dizziness and lack of balance diminished soon. Everyone reacts differently of course.
How are you doing now, December 2022?
All the best.

Nice car, Don! I’m tagging @chuck218 to make sure he sees your post.

Don, are you finished treatment for the moment or still on chemo?
