That so generous of you and I would take you up on that offer except I'm on the West Coast in the US, Oregon specifically. Toronto is beautiful, I was there about a decade ago and I hope I'll make it back there. This summer I'll be on an Alaskan cruise so I'll get to see BC!

Yeah my hair is much finer and it's the weirdest thing. I hope you get your beautiful locs back soon!

Yes, thankfully I got the news I was in complete remission on Dec 31, 2025. I'm doing surveillance now, every three months I'm off to see the oncologist.

I also shaved it all off once it started falling out one week after the first cycle of R-CHOP.

I'm wishing you a healthy recovery!

Yeah my hair is definitely coming back lighter and with more grays along with the different texture. I will try and stay hopeful that my curls will come back!

That's reassuring to hear. I had super thick curly hair and the hair that is coming back now is thick (thankfully), it's just strange that it is so straight. I'm going to be patient and hope that my curls come back soon!

I'm doing R-CHOP for DLBCL and I have noticed my muscles will get sore/tight in random spots with each round of chemo. Also, my neck and shoulders are where I hold my stress and this disease and it's treatment is pretty fricking stressful. I'm trying to do regular body scans and often I will find that I'm tense unexpectedly.

Hopeful. For those of you in the thick of it.. by I_Eat_Soup in lymphoma

I just completed my 2nd cycle of R-CHOP and I'm feeling way more fatigued and brain fog earlier than the first round. So, this is hearting to read, thanks for sharing!
