What to do during chemo session

Hey everyone,

I was diagnosed with stage 2A unfavorable hodking lymphoma last month and I’ve started ABVD treatment. I’ve had my first infusion already, and honestly it wasn’t as bad as I expected — definitely manageable overall. I had some side effects, but nothing too extreme so far. First week is the hardest after that manageable.

I’m 18 and still trying to figure out how to recover better between treatments. For people who’ve gone through ABVD, what activities or habits helped you recover faster or feel better physically/mentally?

Like:

light exercise or walking?

diet tips?

sleep routine?

things to avoid?

anything that helped with energy levels or staying positive?

Hi everyone, I’m 18 and currently taking ABVD chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma. Since my treatment started, I’ve been urinating a lot more frequently than usual. Sometimes it feels like I need to pee again and again.

I’m also trying to drink more water because of chemo, so I’m not sure if that’s the reason or if this could be something serious. I don’t have severe pain, but I’ve had some mild burning/discomfort at times.

Has anyone else on ABVD experienced frequent urination? Was it just hydration/medications or something that needed medical attention?

Thanks.
