Canadianguy,
Hi and welcome to the site. Everyone on here is so nice, helpful and supportive. I have/had DLBCL and had treatments of RCHOP chemo. I've been in remission for 3 1/2years. I showered daily. Also, I cut out coffee, soda and sweets. I only drink water and green tea. I try to eat healthy also. I hope you have a peaceful day. Kelly

You should shower on a regular basis and be clean the foods that you should avoid that’s something that is a challenge for everyone. Sugar is a double bladed sword. It helps the good cells and feeds the bad cells. Mainly, you need to be hydrated, healthy fruits, and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods if you can, receiving a cancer diagnosis definitely makes you more mindful about what you eat . When I was going through chemo, I wouldn’t eat till after my treatment and I would have macaroni and cheese that helped my stomach so that’s what I had. Ask your oncologist if there’s a nutritionist that you can speak to they will help you and guide you.

I went through the same treatment. Good for you about looking after your body. It will add years but remember to just enjoy life now too. If you do anything I think the reduction in sugars is the most important. I lost 30 lbs. Since I've lost 75 % of my smell and taste my appetite is lacking . I was over weight so it has worked in my favour.

Buddy age is just a number I’m 61. A lot of it is mind over matter.. think it believe it and it will be. You got this!!

thank you I will try my best to what you said I'm 54 sometimes I feel like I'm 60 or 70 I need to do better for myself.
