Craig Hockenberry describes fatigue, roughly 23 kg of weight loss and a March hospitalization for Pneumocystis pneumonia during lymphoma treatment. After finishing infusions in May, he reports recovering enough to walk without aids and discusses further inpatient treatment and plans to return to swimming. This personal account cannot determine another patient’s recovery timeline or treatment choices. A separately checked medical guide explains that Pneumocystis pneumonia is a fungal infection that particularly affects people with weakened immunity, rather than an ordinary cold.
