Husbands first chemo

My husband has been diagnosed with lymphoma and is starting his first chemo on Wednesday. I am so worried that he will get an infection after it. Is it bad and does it make them very ill?

  • Hello JamesMatty,

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis and I can understand his first round of chemotherapy would make you worried. The treatment affects people differently. There can be side effects, so keep in contact with his medical team in case there's anything you're concerned about. It can also be difficult for you as a loved one as well, and you can read more on how you can support him here.

    I hope this helps and all the best to your husband,
