"Lymphoma treatment rehab"

I was diagnosed with lymphoma Nov 2024 and started treatment almost straight away with my first chemotherapy in December.  Five more sessions followed over the next few months leaving my body a fragile shadow of what it had once been. 

The care I received from RDE Haematology carers from the Drs to the volunteers providing tea has been absolutely first class - showing the very best of the NHS.

Physiotherapy was offered as part of my after care and I started seeing seeing Rebecca at the Ottery hospital in the early summer. She was caring , knowledgeable and encouraging. During our sessions together and through her providing exercise routines to do at home, I gradually built strength again. Our last session was towards the end of October 2025 when she pronounced me fit enough to return to gym work to continue my rehab.

For anyone recovering from chemo , I wouldn't hesitate to recommend accepting this service . Not only for the physical improvement it gives , but also for the support leading to improvements in confidence and personal ability.
