I completed treatment for stage 4 DLBCL, next month I go for my yearly ECHO and CT with contrast. It was a huge life change. I never feel hot, I freeze. I read that when you have low WBC you don't run a fever, it's opposite. I sleep every night with an electric blanket till I warm up. It was such a life changing time. Not everyone understands, or seems to care. And yes every type of lymphoma is different. Side effects and all, but I find such relief just reading what everyone is going thru and the difference in everyone's side effect. Maybe one day everything will ease up some. God Bless everyone that is fighting this fight with any and every type of Lymphoma, stay strong.
KayJohnston,
I had RCHOP chemo and yes I was even hot after treatments stopped. I've been in remission for 4 1/2yrs and my thermostat still is off a bit. Before lymphoma I used to be cold all the time. Now I tend to be on the warmer side. Kelly

Except my feet which the neuropathy makes them either icy or burning . Im Post menopause so not that . Doctors not really interested in my side effects .
Not sweating , more like over heated feeling
