Hi,
I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma last year and had 8 months of ABVD chemo. I finished chemo in December and very slowly started to get back to a bit of normality. I built up to walking my dog daily, started work, started going to the gym.
However the last few months I can only describe it as extreme exhaustion. I have quite severe back and leg pain (chemo induced neuropathy)
Does anyone have similar experience, is it normal to feel so tired 7 months on from finishing treatment.
I’m not really noticing any other symptoms that might indicate relapse. I had bloods a couple weeks ago which were clear, am I worrying unnecessarily? Please share any words of wisdom

Hi @jenny.card,
Welcome to our forum, I am sure you will get some really helpful replies from our community.
I am sorry to read of the severe fatigue you have developed. Can I ask if you have discussed this with the team? It is great to read your blood results are stable however they just might wish to broaden the blood tests slightly to see if they can find any cause for your fatigue. (This might have already been done).
If you haven’t mentioned this to the team I would encourage you to call your CNS and mention how you are feeling.
I have attached our pages here on fatigue in case there are any useful hints or tips that you havent already tried - Fatigue | Blood Cancer UK
Best Wishes,
