Worsened Myositis From Chemo

Very debilitating muscle weakness, no pain. Receiving BR for MZL lymphoma and don’t know if I can manage a 4th cycle of chemo, as the resulting cytokine release tends to cause further systemic inflammation, leading to increased muscle weakness! Was diagnosed with cancer-associated myositis prior to starting chemo. Thanks!

Oh gosh, I’m sorry you’re having all this discomfort. Chemo can really knock a person down for the count. Especially when the blood numbers start dropping between cycles. Do you feel better at all when your white blood count starts climbing again?
How often are your treatments? Is the 4th cycle the end of treatment?
