2nd Infusion and Chemo

Morph
Offline

I have Non Hodgkins Stage 4 Lymphoma and have now had my 2nd round of treatment. My bladder is doing overtime due to the amount of water I’m drinking to stay hydrated 2 litres a day, my sleep is constantly disturbed at night and wondered if anyone else has found this. 

Thankfully apart from my hair falling out I’ve had no other side effects apart from disturbed sleep which is making me exhausted. I’ve tried to not drink anything after 8pm but my annoying bladder is relentless!!! 

  • Hello Morph

    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with disturbed sleep at the moment. Lack of sleep can really impact your health and it's understandable that you're feeling exhausted by things at the moment. 

    Do talk with your chemo team or specialist about things. It may be that they want to just double-check you don't have a problem with your bladder that needs treating. They should also be able to give you some advice and support that might help improve your sleep pattern/quality. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to talk with one of our nurses for some advice and support, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope things settle and improve for you soon and that your chemo treatment progresses smoothly. 

    Best wishes,
