I Have Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am in my 4th cycle of R-CHOP for non hodgkin's lymphoma. For the first week after treatment I have some nausea, and various side effects, but what I'm curious about is the low grade fever, aches and pains I experience for the following 2 weeks. Occasionally I feel like my heart is racing, but it always resolves itself. I'm wondering if anyone else experiences these side effects? My Doctors are very vague about the cause.

I had rchop... I was allergic to the r and so they gave me benadryl first so I slept. I felt awful for 2 weeks after rchop and much better for a week before the next treatment. I was told I have fibrosis on 1 lung from chemo, with the good news being it wouldn't grow. They found severe mitral valve stenosis during chemo treatment that I took care of after chemo and recovery. I've since had afib and I'm living with it now. When I was anemic after chemo, I was told by oncologist that they don't treat with iron supplements and rather encourage diet supplements. All I heard for explanations was everyone is different. I was asked about numbness in hands or feet (neuropathy ?) When I said achy bones (can be nueropathy) when laying down he said, well get up then. 😉
They don't know everything. Nobody does. Hope this helps👍

Towards the end of my infusions I had aches and pains that I’m pretty sure are caused by the Neulasta(?) shot. It should subside. Just when you start feeling better it’s time for another infusion.

I saw a cardiologist because chemo can effect the heart muscle

I was having the same problem . If you are taking a steroid that will make your heart race. I also had low grade fever. I was told to take my temperatureevery few hours . If it stay above 99.9 degrees call your doctor. Don't take any chance . You could be fighting an infection and you want to take care of that right away. Don't be afraid to call .
