      From petiteone August 2

      Thank you so much for the information. I will pass it along to him. He has finished his first round of chemo and radiation but he is still having stomach issues and is wondering when his taste buds will return and when he will be able to eat without major disgestive issues. Hopefully these side affects will disappear at some point. Hope you are well and best of luck with your treatments!

      My boyfriend has had the same situation as you. 7 - 10 days after chemo - he cannot eat anything, has terrible stomach spasms and bad digestive issues. I am his girlfriend and care giver and I can sympathize with what you are going through. My boyfriend has finished his chemo and has moved on to radiation - so hopefully this nightmare is over. Peace to you my friend, and prayers for a speedy end to your chemo and a quick recovery and happy future! cp

      sending you a hug... all I can tell you is keep up your strength and live your life as normal. Exercise is you can, it can make a big difference after chemo treatments try to fatigue and exhaust you! Drink water, drink water, drink water. Big hugs to you!!

      I was diagnosed with Follicular Cell lymphoma Grade 3 in Dec 2007. For awhile it looked like a benign tumor in my chest, but the biopsy of my clavicle area said it was the NHL. I battled with the Dr. for several months, until I went to Dana Farber for confirmation. Started therapy May 14, 2008

      R-CHOP Too Soon to Tell
      So far my complaints are stomach pain, constipation, and the sloughing off of the skin on the inside of my mouth. No nausea at all, some fatigue, but only able to get 5-6 hours of sleep a night. I have been working full time night shift (40 hours), with the exception of the two days I take off for my chemo treatment.
