Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing okay. I just wanted to ask for some advice and reassurance. I have stage 2B unfavourable Hodgkin lymphoma and I’ve completed 2 cycles of BEACOPP and 1 cycle of ABVD so far.
Recently I’ve been feeling a heaviness in my chest again. It’s not severe pain, but it’s noticeable and making me quite anxious, especially because I had similar symptoms before starting treatment. My heart rate also feels a bit higher than usual at times.
Has anyone experienced something similar during treatment? Did it turn out to be normal or something related to chemo?
I will speak to my medical team as well, but I just wanted to hear from others who may have gone through this. Thank you so much
Hi Aalina and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your journey to date.
I know from experience having been on my cancer journey coming up to 26 years that navigating this journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but talking with and getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot.
