(ABVD was really awful & made me quite ill) Anyway, I'm now 26 & have been cured for over 12 years now & would like to connect with fellow Hodgkins survivors, or those who are newly diagnosed.

For example: 1. ADEQUATE QUALITY…
Lymphoma of the Skin
Hi all. I was diagnosed with B-cell indolent NHL in June 2003. I underwent six rounds of CVP last year. I have recently noticed several red spots on my head and got things checked out by a dermotologist. He said that it could be lymphoma of the skin. I'll be going for a biopsy in a couple of weeks. Has anyone out there had…

Info on Scripps Clinic?

34 Year Survivor
I just came across this site. I think it is great the way you offer each other mutual support. There was virtually no attention paid to the emotional and mental side of having Hodgkin's when I was diagnosed. If it is encouraging to any of you more recently treated folks, I was diagnosed with Stage IIIA in September 1969.…
Radiation longterm affects

How cautious do you have to be with NHL stage 4
