My husband was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma in February and started chemo on the 10th and 11th of October, he was fine he had no side effects and went back to work, he had his 2nd chemo on the 7th and 8th of November and this time he's so tired and doesn't have any appetite.  i just wondered is there any medication he can get from oncologist to help with these side effects .any advice will be welcome. 

  • Hello Pg, 

    I know that quite a few of our members here have found that the side effects of treatment have become more pronounced after each session. 

    It's ceratinly worth speaking direct with the team responsible for his care to see if they can suggest any medication to help or indeed if they need to adjust future treatments. 

    If you'd like to speak to one of our team of nurses for some advice then please do give them a call on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    Best wishes,
