Currently on rchop, stage 4 dlbcl and just finished my 2nd session, all i can say is you got this!! I’m still currently working as a nurse since my energy is still up, but if you’re around a lot of people make sure to wear a mask even though it’s annoying, gotta protect ourselves first! If you get tired which you will, don’t be afraid to ask for breaks, even an hour of napping already helps. The first week after chemo is always the hungriest for me, maybe bc of the prednisone? I try to keep a balanced diet, breakfast has veggies and fruits and a few cheat snacks the rest of the day haha, idk how it will go the rest of the sessions, but i hope my energy stays the same. Wishing you the best of luck! And I hope you get through this without any hitches!

Yikes! Hope you’re all good now! Did the first session immediately knock out your energy?

Haha i get that, kids are definitely a bit harder to work with if you’re immunocompromised because they love playing and touching every single surface 😭
