Hi just looking for R-Hyper-CVAD fellows out there! I am in round 3. I am 51 in great health except for this cancer crap!! Doing ok. The treatment is rough for 2 weeks and then the third week I feel really good. Just in time to check back into the hospital for 5-7 days. Have had neutropenia fevers that land me back into the hospital but an antibiotic helped keep me home for Christmas. I saw my doctor today who I trust and really like. He did say the likelihood it would return is 50% and we would then do a stem cell transplant. But that is far off. I still have 5 more treatments to go. Anyone else out there doing this treatment? Anyone have recurrance? This is a pretty nasty diagnosis I guess. Thanks! |

Hi Anne,
I don't have the same lymphoma as you (Nodular Sclorosing Hodgkins Lymphoma - Stage IIIA - bulky), but we are close to the same age (I'm 55). Like you, I was in excellent health before this diagnosis and I know how frustrating it can be. That's great that you were able to be home for Christmas. I finished my final round of chemo on Dec. 31. Now I just need to wait and see what the PET scan shows and find out where we go from here. I too had/have neutropenia and am doing Neupogen shots (my last one is tomorrow).
Good luck with the rest of your treatments. I hope they go well for you.
