I am in remission from Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in which I had 8 rounds of chemotherapy.....?

Approximately how long will it take to get my energy and stamina back??? I'm trying to excersize but I get winded easily. I'm 32 years old.

If you're otherwise healthy, you'll bounce back. The general rule of thumb is that it takes about as long to get back to yourself as it did to get your treatment. Some lymphoma treatments (if they included either adriamycin - aka doxorubicin - or mitoxantrone) can take a bit longer yet to bounce back from.

If you're breathing is getting worse, not better, then you should contact your oncologist, as this could be a sign that something's not right.

you may or may not one of the side affect of chemo is that you are at higher risk for autoimmune disorders. endocrine disorders and blood disorders.

It can take up to a year for your body to process out the chemotherapy drugs.

Just take it easy and dont push yourself now. Let your body use its energy to heal. God Bless You

Chemotherapy destroys cells. Check, maybe, with your Doctor to see whether Stem Cells can help you.
From my understanding they aid in the release of your stemcells, which are made in your bone marrow, and are directed to whichever organ is depleted.
