Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us.
As you are being treated with R-CHOP I am guessing that you are being treated for some type of Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
We have specific Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma forums where you will meet folks who are going though this treatment.
General Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Forum

The reactions you are having can be normal. I was diagnosed with a rare type of NHL in 1999. I had R-EPOCH something the same as R-CHOP but I was required to be in hospital for 5 days/nights every cycle and yes had some of the same problems but please join the best group and we can give you a lot of help during this time.
