Hi,
Never done anything like this before but suggested to me by MacMillan. I am receiving treatment for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and had my fifth round of R-Chop treatment yesterday. I was doing ok emotionally/psychologically until about before the fourth round, but have been struggling a bit more since then, even though my mid-treatment scan result was encouraging. I am having difficulty analysing what might be physical effects of the treatment (tiredness, irritability, restlessness, sleep issues etc) and what might be emotionally based or psychological. I.e, are they all or some of them just physical effects or are some more emotional? I guess both but would appreciate any input, and then what to do to help alleviate them. Having always been active I find the days very long and tedious and I get more agitated as the day goes on. A good night's sleep, if I'm lucky, does help, but I get anxious about getting a good night's sleep before I go to bed! It may be that I am still not getting to terms with what I am going through.
Any thoughts from anyone with similar experiences would be much appreciated.
