My husband has completed 4 chemotherapy sessions for high grade b cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma. 2 more to go.
His appetite is improving.
He shows fatigue, some anxiety, reluctant to exerise especially in the days immediately following the treatment.
Is it usual to get a scan mid-way through the treatments?
Is it normal to feel cold as a result of chemotherapy?
Is it normal to stop the allopurinol tablet after 4 treatments?
The consultant did not say that allopurinol would stop.
He is coping well,I think.
Thanks to everyone for support. My husband has had the first of 2 retuximab treatments, feeling well some days, other days not so. It's slow enough progress but going forward. Best wishes to you all.
