I have been diagnosed with low grade follicular (non-Hodgkins)lymphoma. Radiation (12) treatements to start July 10.don't seem to do any good.
MaryHayward,
Hi! I'm so sorry you're having trouble. I would absolutely call your Oncologist and tell him/her about your symptoms. I hope you feel better soon. Kelly
Thank you and good luck to both of you.
yes-i have lymphoma as well- fatigue is very common. i hate it- but i found the more i get up ango-the better it gets-
Mark I have the same diagnosis but mine is also in the mesentery which is rare. I am not a candidate for radiation because of where my lymphoma is located. Was told it would be too damaging to vital organs so I will be starting chemo soon. Still have to get bone marrow biopsy in 2 weeks before chemo. My husband had squamous cell cancer of the head and neck with unknown primary. The radiation treatments he had made him tired and he lost a lot of weight but it put him in complete remission and it has been 8 years. He did not have to have chemo as the tumor was completely obliterated with the radiation. Good luck to you!
Not normal - but it may or may not be related to your lymphoma. Please talk to your doctor(s) and be persistent/relentless if you need to be. I found that most of my out-of-breath and really all symptoms could be easily dismissed or ignored if I allowed it. Sometimes you just gotta get tough. Hope you feel better soon. Hugs!!!
