low back pain with NHL
Hi, I'm new to the group and am wondering if anyone else has experienced debilitating low back pain with NHL. My primary sites have been on my aorta and after treatment I had a 21 month remission, then it appeared in my paratoid gland. Again I underwent treatment and after a 6 month remission I again got it in the other…

Hodgkin's Survivor
Hi Trisha, Don't you EVER give up!!! I hd Hodgkin's in 1993 (stage 3A), and again in 1994 (stage 5B). In November of 1994, I had an autologous BMT. High dose chemo for two days, and then lay in a bed for three weeks in isolation. Couldn't see my kids because they had colds. I never gave up. Three months after my transplant…
I am a survivor, now what
Hi everyone: I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in September of 2000. I was sick six months prior to my diagnoses. However, my symptoms mirrored typical food allergies and I was sent to an allergist and put on Predisone several times. Finally, a third trip to my regular MD resulted in her insisting that I see…
hodgkin's survivor
hi everybody, I'm Erin, I'm new here so I thought I'd tell everyone a little about myself. I'm 17 right now, I'll be 18 in Sept. I was diagnosed when I was 14 years old (8th grade). I had three intense rounds of chemo therapy and 14 radiation treatments. I was pretty lucky considering my entire therapy only lasted a little…

Living With Hodgkin's
Hi, my name is Trisha and I currently have Hodgkin's Disease. I have had about 5 rounds of chemo, a bone marrow transplant, and some radiation, but to no avail the treatments did not work even though Hodgkin's is one of the most curable cancers there is. I have got to the point that the doctors have no more solutions or…
NHL - coming to the end of treatment
I have NHL - Large B Cell, diffuse. I have had 6 rounds of Rituxan/CHOP chemo, and am down to my last 5 rounds of radiation. I am anxious to know that the cancer is gone but know I have to wait until June to go for the scans. It's so reassuring to read messages from people who are years into remission. How did you handle…

Hi, i'm a 26 year old Hodgkin's survivor! My story is long and complicated :) I have posted it on my personal web page here at the CSN. Basically I was diagnosed when my first daughter was 2 months old. I'd been having symptoms for 9 months. I was in the late stages. (someone asked a staging question before) my doctor…
Cancer level?
I recently read someone message about their cancer level. I'm wondering, how can one tell what level they are/were at? With out asking the doctor. This person did a few chemo treatments and more radiation treatment. Is this the way to determan one's level? I did 16 chemo's (3 bags, 1 injection, every 2 weeks) and 19…
