Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced odd symptoms. I feel pretty good except I am noticing: 1. My body feels like there are bugs crawling inside my chest/stomach area, not sure if this is from scar tissue or a chemo effect. 2. Besides dry mouth I have noticed my face/lips have begun to feel numb (I live in Florida so its not from the cold). Let me know. Thanks
Hi again , 3-4 months out from treatments like R-CHOP is no time at all. Your body has been put through a lot and for some the recovery can be longer then you would hope or like.
Ruling out any infections is important so do make sure you get a full check over including full bloods. Pain from scar tissue for some can last some time, for me, 7 years on I still have to deal with it more so during colder months when I am less active outside...... But I live in Scotland
Tingly lips could be down to the left over effects of the chemo....... I still was dealing with hand issues 12 months after treatment ended.
I have come to realise that any small health issue tends to get magnified, more if we had never been through treatment.... I always work on the thought that if my medical team are happy them I am delighted.
Stay safe in these crazy time.
Hi Mike,
Just want you to know that I am grateful for your help, you help so many people here.
Enjoy the beautiful day,
with love, Line
