I was exhausted during treatment, and my legs often felt like they wouldn't support me, especially the later treatments. I had to be careful when I got up to make sure I was stable to walk. Mine was from the vincristine and the leg stability did get better after a few weeks. The fatigue did too, but it took a while. I still almost a year later get very tired, and I am not 100%. It will get better.

My legs took months to feel strong again. I used to feel as if I might fall down...luckily, never did! And they used to ache a lot too! Give it time. Try to exercise as much as you feel comfortable, but do not overdo things.
I was treated with Rituxan, Fludarabine and Cytoxan and it took me about 5 months after treatment finished to feel fairly normal again.
