Appetite still hasn't returned almost a year after treatment

Hi all!

So I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma (stage IV - bone involvement) in March 2017.

Following 2 cycles of ABVD I was in a full remission and was still in remission at the final scan in August 2017.

Unfortunately, in December 2018 It was confirmed that I had in fact relapsed and was back to being stage IV.

I underwent the DHAP regimen and then a successful ASCT, after which I was put back into remission in march 2019. 

It's now coming up to a year since I finished my treatment and I still haven't regained my appetite. I could go without food all day and not get hungry.

Just wondered if this is something anyone else has gone through or heard of. 

Thanks for any responses.
