What Would Be Future Symptoms Of Non Hodgkin S Lymphoma?

I have Non-hodgkins lymphoma-stage 4 high grade--first discovered 1-08. Did Chemo--it want into remission....I also have Hep-C and 40% of my spinal cord is cut. I wish I had one to battle at a time. I am smiling. I have no desire to eat. I fall hard quite often.I feel bone cold. I want to sleep or lay down most if the time. Can t do that. I want to be active. My question is: What are my signs of end stage from my cancer?

Oncologist,  's  Response
I am sorry you are going through a lot. There are lot of newer treatments. unfortunately if the Lymphoma is high grade with bad cytogenentics some patients will progress despite on chemotherapy.

With the times we live in, with the tools we have now, there are still some unanswered questions in science. in bad lymphoma terminal symptoms would be from progression of disease. sever loss of weight, fevers, pain, swelling depending on where the cancer grows. I would suggest to consult a good oncologist to explore all the options. If God forbid no options are left then it is reasonable to see a palliative care specialist for symptom control.
