Hi Mary, it's normal to be so tired! Chemo is rough. I was definitely depressed through it. The first two cycles were multitudes harder than the remaining cycles for me. It got easier for me once my haematologist prescribed me something to help with my anxiety during chemo and once I got on top of my nausea (I just had to to just keep taking the anti-nausea meditation). Have you been linked in with a psychologist?

Hi Jano, I'm sorry to hear that. It's natural and normal for you to be feeling that way. So my big tips for weight loss issue are protein shakes and oils. Buy your own protein powder and then you can drink a very nutritious drink without having to eat. Buy high quality olive oil and MCT oil and you can take tablespoons at a time. It's high calories and easy to ingest. I hope this helps. Sending you lots of love.

Hi Suzanne, I'm so sorry that you've had this news. It must be so hard. I can't offer any advice on that choice, which would be informed by an oncologist (you can get also get a second opinion). Keep doing things that bring you joy. I care about you, and I'm here for you. Sending you lots of love and positivity.

Hi Mary, I'm so sorry to hear that. How scary! Of course it would make you cry. I know 21 October seems like a really long way away. Try to stay as active as possible until then, and I know easier said than done, try not to think about what will happen next. I hope you have a good oncologist, and remember you can always get a second opinion too. Sending you so much love and hugs ❤️

Hi Mary, I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through and I hope you're doing as well as can be. I hope you can find some people in your local area - are there survivorship programs? There is a great Facebook group Lymphoma Down Under which is very active if you're interested in joining.

Oh Susana, I'm so so so sorry to hear that. That is so unbelievably hard. What support do you have? It must be so hard to look after your husband while you are going through cancer yourself. I was diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this year. Please please please reach out to me any time, 24/7. I am here for you.
