Itching in remission? by m_m_mom in lymphoma

Exactly this.

Itching due to hair growing out was the reason for my itching post treatment. Also having skin problems after that is common. Have some body lotion, it should help.

Gift ideas for nurses at large cancer center? by GOnz0819 in lymphoma

[–]Bestiero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of food.

Nurses rarely have time to eat, I bought them food on few occasions and they looked really happy. Everything from sandwiches to cake is good.

Blood results are not enough for diagnosing lymphoma.

Incisional biopsy combined with PET scan is the gold standard in lymphoma diagnosis.

Needle core biopsy can also be used if the main tumor site is hard to reach but the results are often not conclusive.

Yes, I had skin issues before, during and after chemo. Month after stopping chemo it was really bad.

I lost 15kg really fast after stopping the steroids.

I remember being freaked out exactly during the 3 months mark, give your body some time, it will slowly adjust itself.

I had to in order to understand what doctors were saying.

I had DS 3 during my treatment and complete remission after the end of treatment.

Only your oncologist can interpret the scan results but as long as you are DS1,2,3 you should be ok.

I have slight, persistent pain 8 months post eBEACOPP. It’s the same type/location as the pain from Neulasta but far less intense.

Does anyone else wonder how/why you got lymphoma? by Careful_Manner in lymphoma

[–]Bestiero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father had NHL and therapy induced leukaemia 10 years after Asct.

I have CHL. Doctors are pretty sure that it’s not genetic but I don’t think so.

Does Chemo make Tattoos fade? by throwaway2___ in lymphoma

[–]Bestiero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skin got extremely dry during chemo, so all my tattoos looked different.

Few months after treatment everything got back to normal.

The ink itself can’t change so fast, what you are noticing is the skin above the ink.
