@jjohnson8747 It's hard some days to push ourselves. I work from home and trust me it is so easy to be a couch potato. Which does not help at all. Since our lymph nodes are sluggish from the disease. We need to help get the fluids moving. Exercise does that. I try and get to the gym 3 times a week. ride the bike and walk the track there. Have you tried the livestrong exercise program for cancer patients? It is free and offered through your local YMCA. That program really helped me see my potential of what I was able to do after my diagnosis.

Let me know if this help you?

Thanks Jackie! I live in Minnesota and it's starting to cool off. I had trouble with the cold last winter. There is a YMCA about 2 miles from me, I'll check it out!
Some ideas- keep a detailed food journal, take max doses of the simethicome and mylanta, avoid known gas producers like brocoli, legumes, dairy for some people, etc. I do all that and still have gas, but I find it helps. Good luck. gp
I have the results of my pet scan. My Lymphoma is back and aggressive. Doctor thinks it may have morphed to large cell. Biopsies scheduled for this week. 🙁
@jjohnson8747 Ugh I'm so sorry ..Last we spoke you were tired and dragging yourself to do things. Was that the only symptoms, you being tired?
I think though if I'm not mistaken, the lady across the hall from me the same thing happened to her.
She was given treatments and is fine today. She is in her very late seventies. It has been about 5 years now and she hasn't had another occurrence..
Hang in there stay positive and keep pushing yourself. I will pray it all works out for you..

Personally I found fresh fruit… Especially berries, berry milkshakes, and Asian food the easiest to eat. The umami really helps when you can’t taste much!

I am sorry to hear about the recurrence. Do you doctors give you hope with different chemo? Do whatever you like or enjoy, and god luck with the biopsies. gp
