Does chemo cause a constantly running nose after treatment ends?

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.

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

Im 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.

That sounds like the same thing, alright! I sure hope it will pass. Congratulations on session 5 of 6! I just had my PET scan and it is all clear, so hang in there!

Amen
