How does one take care of oneself during treatment for Burkitt lymphoma?

Treatment for Burkitt lymphoma might be difficult. Aside from the physical side effects, you or your child might have to spend days in the hospital, interfering with family, professional, and academic obligations. Here are some ideas that might be useful:

  • Involve your network of family and friends who could be able to support friends at home if you or your child will be in the hospital for several days.
  • Treatment can be draining, and you or your child can feel worn out after finishing it. Allow yourself and them space to recover.
  • Healthy eating is essential for cancer recovery since cancer treatment might affect your or your child's appetite.
  • Some kids experience self-consciousness because they are receiving therapy, experiencing side effects, or simply missing out on school and friends. Ask your doctor about the services provided by a child life specialist.
