Hi, my name is Richard, and tomorrow I go for my first chemotherapy, the treatment I am having for my FNHL is that of R-CVP,and I was wandering if anybody had used this form of treatment, and what their experience was like
Thank you sent her all of your info as yes I had pity party for just over week 10 days Then have to be optimistic tried to tell my lovely child her attitude will help me survive if she has no ability to just be optimistic I might as well not bother I have realised this like I want to be at home I might be alone but I came 5 years ago on 27 April out of a 40 year marriage with 10 years at least of heavy Gaslight , I am now at peace and I want to do all this as calm as I can I had enough shouting in past life this is a big thing I want to do it as easy as I can I have had cancer in my family all my life I was waiting to get it NHL was one I knew nothing about so I looked for lumps being a woman so I was so wrong it’s more recent lumps in neck , I lucky went to my oncologist as dr was of no help said was cyst without seeing by 5 lump I knew it was not , I had been on Watch wait look forward to returning there Thank you so much .
Hi there Claws,sorry for the late RSVP, but have been off my computer for a while, and only saw your text yesterday on my return from my daily walk around the block!
Like you ,I too had lumps on the side of my neck when I had my first R-CVP treatment,along with a large lump that looked like a half of a hard boiled egg on the side of my jaw.By the end of my 1st chemo i thought there was a slight shrinkage of the lumps,however by my 3rd, the half egg has almost gone,and the lumps on my neck have almost gone.
How are you coping with the long time that you are sitting down for?all i can say is that my 1st 2 chemos of 7.5hrs went very quickly thanks to my Ipad which i filled with movies and books,which alongside with chatting to the staff made the time fly by.
Have you been told how many treatments you will be getting?I was told 6,with the possibility that it might be 8, as of this coming Thursday ,this will be number 4, what I have found is that the time in between treatments seems to fly by so fast, I remember that when I was 1st told the amount of weeks the treatment was over I wasn't that happy, but 4 chemos in, and I'm now thinking that it cannot have gone by so fast surely, but dates on the calender don't lie!!!
Where are you having your treatment?I am having mine at Frimley Park Hospital, here in Surrey, and I say thank god for that as it is only a short 5-9 drive from my house
Hope all keeps going the right way along your journey, keep in touch, and next time i wont take 3 weeks to reply, I'll keep an eye out on my emails for messages from the Macmillan forum
