I Had My First R-chop For Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I Would Like To Know Generally How Long After Your First Treatment Should I Expect Side Effects? And Also, Do Side Effects Generally Get Worse With Each Treatment You Receive? Thank You

I am on my third R-CHOP Treatment for NHL.  Now that you have gone a week you probably already know that it takes about a week to 10 days to get over the treatment.  Actually, I felt nauseated days 2,3 and a little on day 4.  One thing I did not know is that day 8 can be a very bad day.  I assume you take Prednisone for 5 days.  If this is true, then on day 7 or 8 you have what the nurse called a "Prednisone Crash".  I felt very tired but could not sleep, pain in my stomach etc etc.  Also, for me a big part of getting over Chemo is trying to get my digestive system to work again.  Constipation has been a problem  Milk of Magnesia and prune juice (which I hate), plus Senna have seemed to work okay.
 
Hope this helps.

I have finished my 4th chemo of R-Chop and will have 6 total.  I have found each recovery period to get a bit better.  I have added walking/exercise to my days that I am on Prednizone, and it really helped with the IBS along with a mixture of miralex, colace, and some prune/bran/applesauce dish.  Constipation and bloated water retention for the 4 to 5 days was just too much for me.  

The most severe is that I have a cough due to something happening with my air tube/nasal area.  I can't clear it and so I cough most of the day.  I have had two different medications to clear it, but nothing has worked.  They say I may have to live with it until I am off of the chemo drug.  

Has anyone else had this?  

Tired  Yes - always tired, but I try to get my self doing something each day that has purpose.
