Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Hi I finished my six cycles of RCHOP in July.  I had a PET scan in August which was all clear.  Now three months on I am getting my strength back slowly but still have problems with my digestive system and diarrhoea.  My GP prescribed codeine to help control this.  I will probably need to take these for a while yet.

  • Hi there Grandma, welcome to the forum. I'm glad for you getting an all clear in August. You must be very relieved to get that news. As far as the treatment causing the side effects, you likely know that treatment for cancer in most cases does cause side effects than can really drag you down. It does sound like you are graduallly getting back on your feet though and it does take time and patience. I hope you continue to feel better as time goes on.

    Come back to the forum and connect with others on here who are also dealing with various cancers. You will find that people on here are very caring and supportive of each other and I think it helps to have that connection with others going through a similiar experience.

    Good luck with getting well and keep us informed as to  how you get along with it.

    Take care.
