Prior to my first treatment I had a lot of pain in my abdomen and chest. All of my lymph nodes were extremely swollen. The morning after my first treatment the swelling was significantly reduced and the pain minimal. By the following day my lymph nodes had returned to normal size. SIde effects so far have been stomache pains, bloating, heartburn, exhaustion of out the blue, and as of yesterday I began to lose my hair.

Tolerating well.

For my father.

1st round very euphoric but ok

Just started RCHOP yesterday. Side effects limited to minor rash during treatment. Feel sort of "spacey" and having trouble focusing, but other than that, OK.

I start my second treatment of chemo on the 22 of March

Most of the R-CHOP meds are not a problem and I'm doing good so far. The prednisone sucks just cause it makes me nauseous even to think of taking it. Just had my third CT to check status of my tumor but a lot of my swelling has gone away. Had SVC syndrome pretty bad. Have also decided that I am more than my hair! Staying positive and wigs and hats are fun!

Side effects were horrible...nausea, weakness, memory loss has been awful, and the fatigue terrible. BUT, if it works, in the end, it will be worth it. The baldness was awfull too!

major nausea in 1t CHOP. Trouble swallowing and stomach pain when rutuxin went in faster, so we slowed it and all was well.

So far my complaints are stomach pain, constipation, and the sloughing off of the skin on the inside of my mouth. No nausea at all, some fatigue, but only able to get 5-6 hours of sleep a night. I have been working full time night shift (40 hours), with the exception of the two days I take off for my chemo treatment.
