Yes, chemo is difficult. This is my third cancer and my first time with chemo and I must say having surgery is over faster and fewer side effects. I find that the first two weeks after my treatment are the worst, then I have a good week, then another chemo. So I look forward to those weeks. Good luck to you! I'm in the Phoenix area so fortunate to be able to go to Mayo Clinic.

Yes, my resections were easier to get over than the R CHOP treatments. And even now, 3 months after my last chemo, I have side effects. Crazy. I am glad it is no worse than it is... Probably the Diffuse Large B Cell NH Lymphoma is gone, but the Follicular NH Lymphoma will probably continue to grow slowly. I also am glad to have access to a Lymphoma Clinic here in Rochester, NY.

carolelaine, how are you feeling since your last chemo? I hope the shorter exposure has decreased the side effects. My thoughts are with you. gp
