PamM2,
Hi!! So glad you finished your treatments!! Congratulations! And that you did well with them. Probably the biggest thing is the fatigue. I still have some fatigue all these yrs later. But that’s a small price to pay. I thought I’d finish my treatments and be up and running again. But, it took time to get my energy back. My hair came back about half the thickness and won’t grow past my shoulders for some reason? But again, small price. I feel blessed to be in remission everyday. I try to exercise daily (walk) , eat right and I cut out coffee and soda. I drink water and green tea now. Cut way back on sugar too! Before being diagnosed I used to stress about everything. Now after this journey I’m more laid back than I’ve ever been in my life. Stress isn’t worth it. So I’ve had some good changes too. Sending you a hug!! Kelly
That is great to hear! So happy for you. I finished 6 rounds of rchop and am waiting for a pet scan next month to see if I had a complete response. Still recovering from round 6 but I have been very lucky not to have had severe side effects during treatment for which I am truly grateful .
Worse side effects now are chemical tasting mouth and some off and on nausea but no vomiting. Thank God!!!
How have you done once treatment ended ?
PamM2,
Hi! I had mine approximately 6 weeks ago after I finished my rchop chemo. Kelly
Thank you for your response !! I hope you are still doing well!!!
When is a PET scan ordered after finishing R-CHOP treatment?
