Thank you. Has anyone had the experience of this getting better as your body adjusts? So far it’s getting worse, not better. Also the severe weakness that has made it difficult to do anything but stay in bed. So discouraging. Another 5 months of this is hard to face. Anyone facing decision to do stem cell transplant versus maintenance chemo? Thoughts?

@crissy2450 So sorry your experiencing weakness. Have you discussed this with your Doctor? He or she should have some ideas for you. That should help you with the severe weakness. I found this article with suggestions from the Lymphoma society. You may want to try eliminating sugar and coffee from our diet. Plus try to exercise or walk as much as you can. I noticed when I'm sitting around too much that I have to force myself to walk, then my energy level increases. But please call you Dr. and discuss this with them.

Hope your feeling better soon.
