R-CHOP Progressive Side Effects

in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1

I was diagnosed with stage 3 two months ago. I have had three of my projected six rounds. The first two after periods were relatively mild nausea, fatigue, constipation, and diarrhea. The third session, however, resulted in much more illness for these first ten days. Can someone tell me what 4, 5 and six are going to be like? I know we’re all different but three or four personal stories would help frame things for me.

    As everyone's experience is different, I can give you mine. I was diagnosed at stage 2. I had a bad case of the shivers from the Rituximab during the first RCHOP round followed by hair loss. After that round other than fatigue, I went through rounds 2,3,4,5, and 6 with no issues. I was in remission when they scanned me after the 3rd round. I also did 15 rounds of low dose radiation to help prevent a relapse. Only side effect after the chemo was hand and foot neuropathy. I hope rounds 4.5, and 6 go well for you. Best Regards, tom1953
