I was diagnosed with B Cell Follicular Lymphoma last year and went through 6 rounds of R-CHOP. As everyone says it’s very important to drink plenty of water to keep your organs healthy (90 oz/day). You probably will have no appetite, however it’s so important to consume some nutrition or you may be severely weak and potentially a fall risk which is the last thing you need. I kept food intake light, example would be oatmeal, chicken bone broth, protein shake, etc. Also stool softeners “Colace” are important with all the meds that may constipate you during treatment. The treatment is very aggressive but it works. Stay strong and don’t give up!
