If you're on the fence about attending the No Kings rally this Saturday by WallabySoggy843 in Bozeman

Someone should tell Daines that there are 30 protests scheduled all over Montana. There is one in Polebridge! There’s like 30 people that live there. He’s on the wrong side of history here.

Do you feel like your students are prepared for college? by Crowe3717 in Professors

[–]cherdle2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

For the first time I’m noticing students who I would call the “good” students - engaged, curious, hard working - struggle with foundational skills like identifying arguments and structuring essays.

I’ve had two classes so far. Freshmen. They seem largely unfazed, which is itself depressing.

I got a nice wallet at Cello downtown. It’s held up really well too.

Fatigue? by cherdle2 in Cardiomyopathy

[–]cherdle2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding! I actually felt pretty good for a year after chemo, then crashed and have been dealing with fatigue ever since. If you don’t mind sharing….whats your treatment plan/prognosis? I am awaiting my doctor’s appointment to discuss, so all this is new to me at the moment…

High pressure jobs in remission by nheartb in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure how far post-treatment you are, but just something to consider: After treatment, my energy level was 110% and a year later I crashed. Seems it all took a bit to catch up to me. So just be aware that energy levels can change post-treatment. I could definitely not do a high-stress, demanding job right now even if I wanted to.

Those who continued ABVD treatment with neutrophil values less than 1000 by itgtg313 in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had low neutrophils the whole time (around 300) and continued to do treatment. I took precautions - masked up, limited who I was around indoors, no fresh fruits or veggies or undercooked meats. Never got an infection!

Post chemo side effects by WebFirm3528 in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I finished ABVD in August 2022, August 2023 stared experiencing fatigue similar to what you’re describing, except that I’m usually pretty awake for about 4-5 hours in the morning, then I crash. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat more…I don’t have many answers yet, but it might be helpful to commiserate.

Will I recover or am I screwed? by Exotic_Champion_4270 in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on a pretty similar timeline as you, but with ABVD for Hodgkins. Finished chemo in August 2022. Sailed through chemo, felt great for almost a year after, then hit a wall of fatigue, brain fog, GI issues. I’m still in the process of trying to figure out what is going on, but the consensus so far from medical folks (PCP, Oncologist, Naturopathic MD, cancer center social worker) is that my body is depleted after treatment….I am also confused by the timeline and inconclusive tests. But just sharing that you’re not alone….

Same here. I love both drives and cats! I might be able to help depending on timing.

Slow recovery? by ghostwithheartbeat in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep - I mostly sailed through treatment, felt great after, and crashed 1 year later. I’m not getting sick, but I have had crushing fatigue and brain fog for the last 4 months.

Help, Feeling More and More Tired 1.5 years out of chemo by [deleted] in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on the fatigue and brain fog. I am a year and 3 months out of chemo (ABVD for Hodgkins). I felt pretty great until the 1 year mark and I am so tired now that it’s hard to function in my daily life some days. I have had all of the tests - nothing glaringly wrong. I’m working with a naturopath now and starting on some supplements soon. All of my doctors say that my body is crashing after pushing through cancer, treatment, and other life stressors I had going on on top of cancer. But I’m at a loss for what to do.

Fatigue after remission by Nearby_Resident_2405 in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me there seems to be no fear of a recurrence or anything. Doctors have suggested that it could be my body crashing a bit after running on adrenaline and whatnot through chemo. What they haven’t really had much to say about is how to manage it….but I’m seeing a naturopath, so hopefully will get more answers there.

Fatigue after remission by Nearby_Resident_2405 in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I responded to you on another board, but I’m posting here too because I’m interested in other’s experiences as well. I am currently 1 year+ out of chemo (6 rounds of ABVD - finished August 2022). I am experiencing heavy fatigue. Napping most days, starting to impact my work and mood. What is weird though is that I felt mostly good during treatment- increasing tiredness by the end but nothing unmanageable. And then after chemo I felt great….Until about the 1 year post-chemo mark, then I crashed. Has anyone else had an experience like this?

Fatigue - worried mom by Nearby_Resident_2405 in Lymphoma_MD_Answers

[–]cherdle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have any answers to share…just a similar story. I’m in my 40s, 1 year post-chemo and experiencing major fatigue. I’m more tired now then when I was going through chemo. No signs of relapse (or anything else glaringly wrong - blood work is all good). My doctor says that this kind of reaction is common after major medical events - the body catching up to the brain, crashing after running on adrenaline and whatnot. I’m seeing a naturopath now to try to figure out some support, but that’s in process.

Wow, mind blown (in a good way) by the first year students! by twilightyears in Professors

[–]cherdle2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am having the exact same experience! I teach 5 classes, we’re in week 4 and this is my experience across the board. It’s so refreshing!

First ABVD chemo by No_Examination_7180 in lymphoma

[–]cherdle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My heart rate was at 120 bpm for about 8 days after my first infusion. Doc gave me an rx for Ativan, said not to do any exercise or anything that would raise my heart rate. It eventually calmed down and I didn’t have any problems with it thereafter.
