VirginaSesler,
Hi!! Thank you for your kind words. The things I changed from a lifestyle perspective was I completely cut out all soda and coffee. I was a big Diet Coke and coffee drinker. I now drink water and green tea. I also walk daily. I try to get in 10,000 steps a day. Also, I used to eat a lot of sugar in my diet. I cut sweets out too. I am much calmer now. Little things used to upset me but not anymore. After having lymphoma, the little things look like nothing now!! I try to listen to my body now more than ever. If I’m tired, I rest.And I pray more and am closer to God I feel. I hope these suggestions help. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me. I hope you have a blessed day. Kelly
Kelly and VincentHall,
Congratulations on both of your remissions! Kelly, I love hearing of your remission for 4 1/2 years. Do you have any recommendations for how to do so from a lifestyle perspective?

Hi! I too have/had DLBCL stage IV. I was exhausted too after my treatments. I felt I had a good day if I accomplished a couple loads of laundry. But it will get better. I also started walking daily which has helped. I’ve been in remission for 4 1/2yrs . Congratulations on your remission!! Kelly
For fatigue I’ve found that focusing on the research from the American Gut Project on improving your gut microbiota diversity- focus on eating 30 different vegetables a week. Also, work on exercise as a habit. Follow FDA recommendations.
