Are you experiencing incontinence and wondering if it's connected to your lymphoma or its treatment?
Incontinence can sometimes be linked to lymphoma or its treatments. Here are a few possible connections:
- Nerve damage (neuropathy): Some chemotherapy drugs can cause peripheral neuropathy, which may affect bladder control
- Tumor pressure: Lymphoma tumors in the abdomen or pelvis can press on the bladder or nerves that control it
- Corticosteroids: Steroids used in treatment can sometimes affect bladder function
It's really important to bring this up with your care team as soon as possible. They can help identify the cause and suggest the right treatment plan for you. Don't be shy about mentioning it — it's more common than people think, and there are ways to manage it!
