My Aunt lives in another part of the country and has just been diagnosed, the recommendation is RCHOP ( 6 cycles) given every 3 weeks. She is wondering if she will be able to travel to be near family in between chemo sessions. Any experience or insight welcome! Thanks!
Thank you for your response! Wishing you good health.
CarolineL,
Hi! I have/had DLBCL stage IV and too had 6 treatments of RCHOP chemo. One of the reasons I did not travel was when you have treatments your immune system goes down. My blood numbers went down alot during treatments, especially my lymphocytes. Which was expected. But, I did not want to get an illness on top of what I was fighting. I did not even go into a crowd. I wore masks. Plus, I was fatigued during treatments also so I rested as my body required. I hope your Aunt does well with her treatments. Kelly
