Non hodgkin's lymphoma

Good Evening All

Well I'm 6 days after cycle 2 . Sickness is now well under control thanks to anti-sickness medication ( Allopurinol ) . Cycle 2 was nearly put back by a week as my white bloods had not recovered they where only at 0.5 when I had then done at the doctors three days before cycle 2 advice to anyone else please have theres done two days before not three days it makes a difference.  they need to be above 1 ideally they want them at 3 . Is there any way to help bloods recover as I so dont want to be putting chemo back by a week at a time I'm having RCHOP21 

Any help on moods and tiredness if anyone has something that worked for them I know everyone's is different but hell this is so hard.  I cant seem to explain how hard this is to my wife or family no words can explain how I feel is this normal

  • Hi Pete, hopefully the chemo will do the trick for you and put you into remission.

    Every body is different. I did immunotherapy only but : that was for years! Many times I was not sure if it was the drug side effects or the cancer was doing it.

    Hopefully the situation will improve after the last completed /final cycle!

     

    Personally i found that more physical activity helped me.
