<p>I Have NHL, diagnosed in 2005. Finished R-CVP treatment on Hogmany 2009, now on Rituximab maintenance therapy every 12 weeks. I'd quite like to get a new tattoo but don't know if there are complications with treatment. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I finished my chemo on Hogmany and started on maintenance therapy in March. I have noticed a deterioration in my eyesight, blurred vision when reading. My friend in Canada who is also going through chemo told me his Oncologist mentioned this was a possible side effect. Anyone any ideas or experiencing the same?</p>

I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma in 2005 and have had various treatments since. I am due to fly out to Turkey 2 weeks today for a much needed break with my wife and 2 children. The stumbling block was finding travel insurance at a realistic price.</p>
<p>I tried all the companies that were listed on the Macmillan website and they all seemed to be plucking figures out of the sky. The quotes I was receiving ranged from £224 to £560, unbelievable.</p>
<p>What a relief,the very last company on the list quoted me a realistic £44.95. So I just wanted to share this with anyone else having similar problems. The company is called <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em> </em>Insure Blue.</span></strong> I hope this information comes in handy to many.</p>

I'm looking for some advice if anyone can help. I am due to start maintenance therapy next week. I've to have IV Rituximab every 3 months. I'm feeling a bit down as I thought I had finished my treatment for a bit. I was thinking of trying St Johns Wort. Anyone know of any side effects or reasons why I shouldn't?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=325320&AppID=30556&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
