Several months of CHOP+Bleo. Got very bloated from Prednazone. Total body baldness, of course. My skin actually got quite beautiful and baby smooth. Toenails fell off. Heart and lung damage from Bleo. My mouth and throat were scarred by sores and from vomiting. Kidneys have been very vulnerable ever since. (Just want to add, I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT ANY OF THIS. I lived! It was worth it.)
7/13/2012~ABVD
8/23/12 - Hot-flash (minor) and a little fatigue
8/26/12 - Mouth sores.
I have Chemo once a month. The Chemo caused the whites of my eyes to turn Fire Engine Red. It was a reaction that none of the nurses had ever seen. I was given IV Benedryl. The dose of the medicine knocked my butt out. That was my first treatment on May 21, 2012. I was set for 3 treatments. My Oncologist was not sure if the Chemo would work to begin with. Within the first treatment I could tell a difference. I was amazed. I could actually feel the mass and it was smaller. So, Dr. M ordered another 3 treatments for a total of six. I lost all my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. Hey, they will grow back one day. I don't mind. I love all the scarves and hats I have bought and been given.

Round 1 1/22/13
Round 2 2/13/13
Started11/15/2012, every 21 days until 03/06/2013. Had neuropathy, vincristine stopped for 2 cycles,better, then resumed 5th cycle. Had some issues with breathing-felt like I had eaten a lot of mints, treatment postponed for a week, got chest x ray, nothing wrong. Was tired with each cycle, but trudged through. Prednisone helped. Lost taste for some foods, but never lost my appetite!
12 rounds of ABVD. Side effects: hair loss, weight gain, nausea and fatigue
1/7/2014 and every 14 days thereafter - Nausea, jaw pain, loss of taste, hair loss, fatigue
6/10/2014 - chemo complete (6 cycles ABVD)
R-CHOP; chemo as listed above plus Rituximab and Prednisone. June x1; July x2; August x1; September x2. 6 total rounds of R-CHOP. Also, had an injection of Neulasta the day after each chemo round that helped me build-up white blood cell counts and it worked well. Fortunately, they gave me a 'cocktail' of Benadryl etc, so I never got sick - thank God. Took nausea pills. Loss of appetite for days as everything tasted like you ate old pennies or nickels. The first two times that I had the Neulasta white blood cell shots I had bone pain within a week that lasted only a day or two and went away. Chemo also gave me an irriegular heartbeat, so a beta-blocker fixed that. Chemo 1-4 weren't all that bad, just long. Chemo 5 & 6 felt like I was in a fight in the middle of the night - but I was able to recover quickly. The Prednisone pills made me nasty, which I usually am not.
