Imaging demonstrated some deviation of the trachea to the right. Mary experienced nausea controlled with Ativan as well as diarrhea. She needed to be treated with IV fluids due to dehydration at her local ER after cycle 2. She developed alopecia (hair loss) from chemotherapy. Otherwise she tolerated treatment well.

You need to see your dermatologist at least yearly for a full skin exam. Protection of skin from sun with sun screen/ protective clothing ongoing Referral has been made to Wendy Wilson given the family stressors that you are experiencing. You have seen Charlene Gates for a swallow study during your radiation. Continue swallow exercises and contact her if you have difficulty with your exercises or with swallowing. You need to see Dr. Taggart in endocrinology once a year. Referrals provided Smoking cessation counselor Fertility specialist or endocrinologist Comments t applicable t applicable You have had radiation to your neck. Please do stretching exercises daily to prevent restriction in neck movement.
Second Cancers Caused by Cancer Treatment Survivors of non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are at increased risk of developing some second cancers, but less so than patients who were treated for Hodgkin disease. Overall, NHL survivors get new cancers about 15% more often than most people (the general population). Increased risks of malignant melanoma, lung cancer, and kidney cancer have been seen in patients who had been treated for NHL. Survivors of NHL are also at risk for several other cancers such as: Kaposi sarcoma Cancers of the head/neck area (this includes the tongue, floor of the mouth, throat, and voice box) Colon cancer Thyroid cancer Bone and soft tissue cancer Bladder cancer Leukemia Hodgkin disease Radiation therapy increases the risk of breast cancer in women who were treated before age 25. Mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the outer lining of the lung, is also increased in those who were treated with radiation. A higher risk of bladder cancer has only been seen in those who were treated with chemotherapy. The drug cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan ), especially if used in higher doses, is linked to bladder cancer. Low-dose total body irradiation (TBI), which was once used to treat NHL, has been linked to an increased risk of leukemia. The risk of leukemia is also higher in those treated with chemotherapy, with the highest risk seen in those treated with both radiation and chemotherapy. Patients who had autologous bone marrow transplants (meaning the patient's own bone marrow was used -- not someone else's) are also at increased risk for developing acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and an early form of leukemia called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Treatment-related second cancer risk lasts a long time after NHL, up to 30 years after diagnosis. Those who were diagnosed and treated at younger ages (20 years old and younger) have a higher risk than those who were older (70 or older) when they were found to have NHL. Follow-up care Since there is an increased risk for a second cancer following treatment for NHL, survivors should get careful follow-up. Your doctors should be looking for the development of any of the above mentioned cancers as well as the recurrence of NHL. All patients should be encouraged to avoid tobacco smoke. 2011 American Cancer Society. All Rights Reserved. End tes te 1: Important caution.
