Hi All
Shawn here. Just wanted to introduce myself. Diagnosed with NHL in June and have been through 6 cycles of RCHOP and my first (of two) high dose methotrexate treatments. Had a PET scan after my RCHOP cycles which showed “complete metabolic response” and no active lymphoma. Sounds positive thus far but I know there’s still some way to go and these things can return so taking each day at a time.
RCHOP was okay for me. Hair loss, bit of tingling fingertips, acne after first one but went away, sore mouth after first one but went away. So I can’t grumble.
Methotrexate I had a few days ago and feeling that a bit more. Sore mouth. Fatigued. Itchy skin. Worse but was being in hospital for 5 nights where I could not sleep because of disturbances - don’t think that helps but also realise it can’t be helped. Glad to be home and had a couple of nights sleep in my own bed.
Just wanting to get second methotrexate session over with (10th December) so I can then try and look to the future.
just wanted to say 
.
Shawn
