Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 3951120, member: 7597"] I had Lyme disease. I had just finished my chemo and directly after that got radiation therapy. Towards the end of radiation, I noticed a rash. At first, I figured it was just a side effect of the ABVD or radiation. All of the symptoms I had were side effects you can have from chemo or radiation. Thankfully my oncologist was very good and careful and realized I also had Lyme disease and did not just chalk it up to the cancer treatment. I took some stuff for that for about two weeks. I remember in the midst of the chemo treatments I would go on walks either on the beach, or in the woods to unwind, so I likely picked up the tick on one of those walks. I lived in Old Lyme at the time. But man, 2011, health-wise, was quite the gauntlet. Any long-term side effects I have now, not sure if it is from chemo, cancer, or Lyme, or something else. [/QUOTE]
