Sorry you have found yourself here, there is usually a whole range of emotions most of us go through when a diagnosis is made. Then there are all the tests etc, before a treatment plan is in place.
I personally found it useful to talk to people around me - One of the website i found useful was Lymphoma Action. Your life can feel if its on hold at times !!!!
There are so many diffrent types of Lymphoma - dont try and research until you know the type.
Mine was B cell lymphoma - i had just radiotherepy directly on the facial skin lesion.
Now into my 4 years of 5 years plan - without any further issues.
Good luck on your tests - waiting for the results is /can stressful
That sounds nasty you poor thing, it'll be so much better once they fix up what's wrong and start some treatment.
I'm on ABVD for 6 months - I go in every two weeks and get everything put in through my PICC line. The first week after the first dose was the worst as everyone reacts differently and I had terrible nausea which the basic tablets they had given me did nothing to help. Luckily there's so many other medications out there to help and I was put on cyclizine and touch wood the nausea is far improved. I get a damn sore mouth for three days after treatment but then everything seems to settle down and by the second week in feeling more myself.
Lymphoma treatments have been looked into a great deal and there's a lot of emphasis on how many options are around to ease side effects. There's no need to struggle, as I found out!
Also I can't comment myself as I didn't suffer b symptoms but many people say after a couple of doses their sweats etc. Start to ease off!
