My husband is currently undergoing chemo for NHL also. After his 2nd treatment, his hemoglobin was very low and they sent him immediately to the hospital for a blood transfusion. He needed 3 units of blood. The next week, the same thing happened and he needed 2 units. That was right before Thanksgiving. Today he is currently having his 6th chemo, He just got out of the hospital yesterday because of a UTI. Write me again if you have any more questions.
