Hi
Have been diagnosed and starting treatment after Boxing Day they are using R-CHOP treatment my cancer is in my stomach and spread to the chest they tell me that is quite common with this form of F Lymphoma
They tell me my first chemo session will last between 6 and 7 hrs and I will be stopping in hospital for at least overnight then I will have Chemo as an outpatient in three 3 week cycles
Just wondered if anyone can give me an idea of what to expect I know the hair loss etc just wondered how I will be feeling in the days after treatment
Any useful information for me and my wife we would be grateful
Fred, a few additional bends in the rollercoaster?but as always, expect the unexpected - good and bad..... but plan c,d,e...... are in the tool box.
Mind you, I have been on the CT table, had the scan in readiness for a lung biopsy and was told to go away as it was not a problem. Looking for the same for you,
Hello Fred,
To me it sounds like they want to go the extra mile and so they should, I am sure its for the best.
My appointment today was a bit mixed as well, new doctor (not keen on him one bit, a bit aggressive for me). Raised a few issues re swelling up around hips and legs which I think is water retention, but he was a bit to fast on the dismissive always interrupting. I have a short session on Friday, forgot exactly what as its not chemo anyway, then the following Friday I'm in overnight as it will take a long time I'm told.
Keep well my friend and enjoy your dogs
