Is anyone currently or recently been suffering from the same type of cancer as myself, AITL, I was hoping there might be some value in an exchange of symptoms, reaction to Chemo, what happens further down the line etc
Thanking you in anticipation,

Hi again , I had a look back at your first thread (LINK) and you are having CHOP.
Lets see if anyone with AITL comes along. I did a quick search using the Search Tool (Top Right) and there have been a number over the years, lets see if they are still on the site - have a look.
Are you having any issues and reactions to your treatment?
The main issue I had was Fatigue to be the main challenge and keeping clear of infection issues as your immune system will be delicate. But here is some bed time reading for you.
Hi Roger, I just happened to check my phone and your post came in.
I had 6 cycles R-EPOCH, 120 hrs per cycle and had no real issues, fatuge yes and no infections but did pick up Helicobacter Pylori during cycle 3 - a bacteria that developed ulcers and stomach inflammation. The 3 pack antibiotics I was given for the HP were horrendous and put me in bed for a week and was actually far worse than all the chemo put together.
Always around to help out.
