Newly diagnosed, High grade non Hodgkin lymphoma cancer

Good day.....was diagnos3d last week with High grade non Hodgkin lymphoma cancer....73 years old.....Had my first bout of chemo called R- CHOP Wed16June. I've been really suffering with terrible diarrhoea every time I open my bowels, really getting me down, just wondering if anybody else been suffering the same and does/will it clear.  ThanksDave.

  • Welcome to the forum Dave although I'm sorry about the bowel troubles you've been having since starting your chemo.

    We have some advice on how to cater for this just here but if you'd like to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about this then do give them a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I really hope this starts to improve and the rest of your treatment goes well.

    All the best,
