Hi,
It is good that he does not show any trace of lymphoma right now. Please tell your boyfriend that Hodgkins has a good prognosis, and in early stages, the majority of cases are cured.
There is no need to feel pressured about a physical relationship right now. Chemotherapy can decrease the libido temporarily, but essentially all patients are able to resume happy, fulfilling relationships eventually.
You must be understanding and supportive. Talk to his oncologist about his mood/depression etc.
All the best, and God Bless!
Both of you do this together and tell each other how you feel.The extra oxygen will make the brain happier and release good hormones and the depression will gradually ebb away. Please continue doing this breathing and you will stay well.Come back to report progress whenever you can, so others may benefit from your experience.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
