        I have stage 4 lymphoma.  Have been thru a year of retuxmab treatment.  Was absolutely misrable, lost 30 lbs, no energy, no strength, metallac taste in mouth, nausa.  A dietician prescribed supplements.  Lost metal taste, nausa, appetite returned.  I am going on to naltraxon treatment now to avoid more chemo.

                    Tell everyone a little bit about yourselfI am 70 yrs old have NHL and have had chemo for 6 months. Three days after last chemo treatment awoke in the am with a terrible rash on the chest area. This itches like the devil and cannot scratch as it will bleed. Cancer doct is not familiar with this. Primary care doc has proscribed two ointments which so far does not improve the rash. I have low energy and strength and have lost 20 lbs due to nausea. What to do?
