Thank you 

  • Hello Chrispigster and thanks for your post,

    There can be any number of reasons why you are getting these bumps on your skin. It could be a late reaction to the chemotherapy. It is best to let your haematology team at the hospital know so you can be assessed. You could take a picture to record what the bumps look like and see whether there are any changes when you see your haematology nurse or doctor.

    Lymphoma Action have some information on general skin conditions that can happen after treatment.

    I do hope that you manage to speak to someone in the team soon.

    If you would like to chat this through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a ring.

    Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
