I have just finished my chemo for non hodgis lymphoma blood cancer.
I had 6 round spread over every 3 weeks.
I have had 2 chest infections due to low immune system. I am now waiting on scans further down the line to see if my treatment has worked. Has anyone been treated for this and if so did it have a good success rate. The type of treatment was something chop. I would appreciate any feedback. I am due to turn 60 this year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I'm sorry to read about yournon- Hodgkin lymphomadiagnosis but pleased you have now completed your chemotherapy treatment.
Many people do very well on chemotherapy treatment ,but outcomes vary depending on thetypeof lymphoma you have, thestage, your general health, and your response to the treatment given.
Your specialist team are better placed to advise you further on this as they are familiar with all your medical details. It might also be worth you having a chat with your specialist nurse (CNS) as they know your situation and may be able to advise you further. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.
