Lasting effects

Hi againJane03, sorry to hear you have some treatment left overs.

I had a different treatment journey but also had to work through all the issues you have mentioned.

It took me rather a long time to say that I was out the other end but eventually everything improved.

I am not sure i had joint pain but defenitely have and still have muscle pain. I have the most extruciating cramps. Never experienced a cramp like that before. Not the usual cramps.especially at the front of the ankle. What helps me is to place the foot on a cold floor and apply pressure. Without it, it wo

Just finished 6 treatments of chemo I’m so  tiered fingers in left hand numb but I did brake neck & had few problems before I was 80% disabled , but I am just trying to get better but my daughter very loving is planing Christmas I can’t think that far she thinks I’m being awkward says my brain fog is Rubbish , I can not find way to tell her how I feel , I wrote in my main page my treatment , i believe  it’s worked but she had me visit day after last chemo for 12 days I thought I was going mad Tv full blast Talking flat out & 3 cats 2 dogs I was fried 

I’ve had one course of chemo but I noticed that my forefingers keep locking up - you call it trigger finger. I had no idea thst this was connected in any way to my NHL or the chemo . Is there anything I should do to stop this ?

Hi Rural man, keep exercising your hands with the likes of a stress balls…… but unfortunately if you end up like me…… my trigger finger is still with me coming up to 7 years post my last treatments.
