Chemotherapy journey

I’ve just had my second cycle of chemotherapy. I have lymphoma.

is it usual to look older in the face, become grey in skin tone, have more wrinkles.  My weight lose has been dramatic as I had very swollen legs. Would I regain my face shape once treatment is finished?

my feet always feel cold and my legs are constantly sore. Is this normal?

  • Hi Totnespete,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you are getting on OK with things, aside from the issues you mention here. I am not too sure of the answers to your questions - if and when you're able to, it would be best to talk this through with your doctor, as they will be best placed to advise specifically to you.

    You can also post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, to receive a reply from one of our nurses, if you would like to. Alternatively you can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
