Case Study # 1
Ramon is a 27-yaer-old financial analyst who has recently begun chemotherapy for treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He has tolerated the chemotherapy fairly well but has experienced mild, daily nausea with occasional vomiting, usually controlled with Kytril. His main concerns is the fatigue he experiences and the impact it has on his work. He also admits that he has been experiencing anorexia and “just doesn’t feel like eating much,” something which may be contributing to his fatigue. He has lost 2 kg since his last clinic visit two weeks ago.
