  1. #1 Pain
    #2 Fatigue
    It’s been 4+ years and still dealing everyday

    1. it’s been 2 years for me. Can you tell me if you received RCHOP


    2. I did RCHOP. It was brutal but it worked.

  2. For me it was significant bowel blockages ( requiring 10 days of hospitalization ) combined with low white blood count due to chemo - Ten months later I still have numb toes, some fatigue along with some chemo brain - all said I am in remission, still here and have met some really nice folks on blood-cancer.com 😀 Dennis(Blood-Cancer.com TEAM)

    1. 💜🐼

  3. Probably the mouth sores were the worst thing when the chemo first started. The high steroid dosage made my mouth flora go into overdrive and it was painful for a week or so. The mouthwash didn't do a thing so I eventually had to get pills, and that took another three days or so. Man it was awful. Keep on keepin' on, DPM

    1. I am dealing with this again thank hid the doctor prescribed me some numbing medicine for my mouth and it works lidocaine oral medicine

    2. I did a salt water mouth washes 2 or 3 times a day - it appeared to help things heal

  4. The pain, fatigue and nausea along with the mouth sores are rough for me I’m battling my cancer again for the second time I have multiple myeloma and it gets real when you’re dealing with the side effects

    1. yesss! I try my best not to go down that rabbit 🐇 🕳 when I feel a pain that feel all to familiar 😩🙈 Amanda🐼team member💜
