Does chemo cause a constantly running nose after treatment ends?
Community Member
6 days agoI just finished my last Chemo (R-EPOCH) and have a PET scan next week which will hopefully confirm full remission from Primary B Cell Lymphoma, God willing! I want to encourage all of you that if I can make it, anyone can! One question for the group; since I finished chemo my nose is running constantly! Has anyone else experienced this? A small problem all things considered but very annoying! Hang in there everyone!
Accepted Answer
Congratulations on completing your treatment - what an incredible milestone! A constantly running nose after chemotherapy can indeed happen as your body recovers and your immune system begins to rebuild itself. Many patients experience various side effects that can linger or even appear after treatment ends, and nasal symptoms are among those that some people report. It's always worth mentioning these changes to your healthcare team, especially at your upcoming appointment, as they can best assess whether it's treatment-related or if there are simple ways to help manage it.

5 days agoI will hit my 2 mark next month and am hopeful that my PET scan will also be clear. Still have a runny nose.

2 days agoIm currently getting R-chop for my B cell lymphoma. Treatment 5 of 6 is tomorrow. My nose has been very runny at times but its different than your typical runny nose. Its a very wet drippy type its not constant but deal with it multiple times throughout the day.
