Suggest Treatment For Non Hodgkins Lymphoma
My dad is 73 yrs old and is suffering from NHL. He is undergoing chemo and has completed the first cycle of chemotheraphy. Now he has lost his appetite and has a feeling of bloated stomach even after drinking a sip of water. Due tio this reason he has reduced his diet drastically and does not want to eat due to the bloating of the stomach. Is there any medicine that can help....

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have non hodgkin lymphoma. Treatment depends on the stage of disease. However overall chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. Anorexia and bloating of stomach is a side effect of your chemotherapy. No need to worry about that. Just take your treatment regularly.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
