Question:
I am in remission from Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in which I had 8 rounds of chemotherapy.....?
Approximately how long will it take to get my energy and stamina back??? I'm trying to excersize but I get winded easily. I'm 32 years old.
Answers:
If you're otherwise healthy, you'll bounce back. The general rule of thumb is that it takes about as long to get back to yourself as it did to get your treatment. Some lymphoma treatments (if they included either adriamycin - aka doxorubicin - or mitoxantrone) can take a bit longer yet to bounce back from.
If you're breathing is getting worse, not better, then you should contact your oncologist, as this could be a sign that something's not right.
