This is turning out to be a wild summer for you, isn’t it, after your diagnosis of non Hodgkin’s lymphoma! It’s really encouraging that your treatments are working. I know from experience the chemo isn’t fun but it’s a means to get back to normal! So, 3 down, 3 to go! Do you feel pretty wiped out halfway through the cycle before you start the next round?
What were your symptoms that led to your diagnosis?

Overall my reaction to the Chemo had been fine. No nausea tablets needed and no real tiredness just a sore throat for the first five weeks and I still have a runny nose.
Symptoms prior to treatments included - fatigue, weight loss, (11%) bloating abdomen, pain in lower abdomen, high calcium levels, mental fogging, lack of steadiness in walking, getting confused.
By the time just before Chemo I could not walk, swallow or talk properly.
Hope this assists.
