What should I expect from red devil chemo after CLL and lymphoma diagnosis?

Also I have been told that I am having chemo till the end of March every three weeks . Then radiation maybe 4 times after that.

Red devil chemotherapy can be challenging, but many people find that knowing what to expect helps them prepare mentally and physically for the treatment. The community here has lots of experience with various chemo regimens and can offer practical tips for managing side effects and staying strong throughout treatment - consider sharing updates about how things are going so others can offer specific support and advice.

Hello Margaret I just finished 6 rounds of RCHOP chemo for large B cell lymphoma My advice stay positive eat 4 small meals a day , even if you don’t want to , drink lots of water , and stay active . I was in hospital twice but last month I was told I was in remission . You can do this !!!

Thank you Tim

Hey, Peggy, I was diagnosed with Primary B cell Lymphoma in August, working through 6 rounds of Chemo every 21 days. I’m getting the Doxorubicin (red devil) as part of my mix and so far so good. My Oncologist told me by the numbers I am in remission already, but should finish treatments to be safe. Just wanted to say hang in there! You’ve got this! We are all in your corner!

Thank you Anne words of encouragement ❤️

I was diagnosed two years ago with the very same CLL/SLL. Found the B cell lymphoma and the also aspirated my bone marrow and found small white cell lymphocytic leukemia and I was extremely anemic. Have been taking a medication called Brukinsa for two months now and feeling much better… my immune system is still compromised and I can’t be in big crowds. But Brukinsa is a relatively new medicine that is a target therapy drug instead of chemo. Please ask your doctor and you also can read about it online. Mary Zierke

I just had my third round of chemo and I got so sick with a head cold and it’s been 3 weeks and I still don’t feel well. Is it harder to recover while having chemo.

Hi Peggy With the red devil drink a lot of water it helps take one day at a time and also do not eat any of your favorite foods during these days they don’t taste right and you’ll never will eat them again Good Luck God bless you Linda

Hi Linda you are right nothing tastes right..

Hi I just had my fourth treatment and this has been the toughest yet emotionally I am a mess it feels like this will never end. Anyone else real emotional?

Although my last treatments were more difficult, the five months of chemo now seems like a short time of my life.

Hi Are your last 2 treatments stronger than the previous ones? I just had my fourth and it has been rougher.

Hi I just had my fifth chemo and this is the hardest yet high anxiety and heat coming out of the top of my head so bad. In bed for the last 5 days and I don’t want to have my last chemo at all after this. All I do is apologize for my attitude I can’t handle being around anyone. Has anyone else had this experience?

Hi Margaret The chemo is tough on all of your body and emotions try to get the last treatment because you want your cancer to go away keep a positive attitude even when it’s hard pray for strength and god will get you through your almost there. Linda

Thanks Linda❣️

Margaret toughest thing I have been through in my life, no question! Chemo is physical and mental anguish, we all have felt just like you. Get that 6 th treatment ! This RCHOP works and you to will soon start to feel better and get back to living your life. Stay strong

Thank you Tim ❣️
