Hi don,t cry

I had NHL back in 1997 (aged 56) with a tumour in the neck and was treated with Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy.

I was advised to exercise so I bought a bike & took up lawn bowls as well as a bit of golf.

Good Luck and be confident

My mum is starting her next round of chemo on wednesday, apparently she is on the strong dose cos her body can take the higher dose, dont know if thats a good or a bad thing, her hair is falling out really quickly and she is really upset about it, she has a nhs wig bt hates it, she cant stand anything on her head as she gets agitated so wearing a wig is really upsetting her!

Was the excercise to get u fitter or does excercise/activity help with the process?

Hi,

I've had NHL 3 yrs ago.

The chemo aint so bad, but i suppose it depends on which version you get, and which variant of NHL you have is a factor too.

I had CNOP (a version of CHOP) which wasnt so bad really. It did make me feel very very tired towards the last few sessions though, even gettin out of a chair was a struggle.

Watch out for infections/bugs whilst on the treatment too.....a minor 24 sickness bug which the kids shook off in a day put me in hospital for 10 days.

Good Luck and best wishes
