Night Sweats, Fatigue, Shortness Of Breath, Loose Stools. Under Treatment For NH Lymphoma. Cancer Getting Worse?
I am currently in my second year of treatment for NH Lymphoma and CLL. I take rituxin every three months now. Recently, I have again started to have night sweats, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and loose stools that look like coffee grounds. I have had spells of dry heaves when I attempt to eat or drink and have a constant feel of fullness. Does this mean my cancer is getting worse? I have a scan in June that showed everything is looking goo.

Hi
thanks for your question.
based on my experience this could be side effects of lymphoma treatment not that cancer is becoming worse.
You need to urgently see oncologist for further evaluation and management.
Hope I answered your question, will be happy to help you if you have other queries.
