Thank you all for the encouragement. We will never give up. We live in southern california, and next week we have an appointment with City of Hope. One more question, Did anyone have headaches after radiation treatment was over?

Today we went to the Doctor to find out the results from the PET test and the CT scan, The doctor had bad news, He said that the test showed that the lungs lit up and they found a new tumor in his abdomen.

Thyroid
Hi, Sounds like we were on a similar schedule. I was diagnosed in August 2000 with 2B HD, had the night sweats, etc. It came back and I underwent a stem cell transplant last August. Because of the radiation to the neck and chest, my thyroid has since been slowly shutting down. Weight gain is one of the symptoms that the…
"Metabolic damage" from chemo/rads?
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with IIB HD in August of 2000, and had 6 months of ABVD chemo followed by a month of radiation to my mediastinal area. I didn't lose any weight prior to my diagnosis -- I had night sweats and some other symptoms instead. Here's my question: Since the end of my treatment in May of 2001, I have…

Recently diagnosed with Hodgkin's
Hello I am a 22 year old male recently diagnosed with hodgkins in May. I have been on ABVD treatments for 2 months.

I'm 36. I had hodgkins when i was 21, had chemo & rad. Then at age 26 I had a recurrence, had a bone marrow transplant. I'm scared because I've been having sweats lately and I wish I didn't panic everytime I don't feel well. I am going to go see my doctor but I worry about being told I have it "again".

Fear
Hi. I am 33 and was diagnosed with Hodgkin's stage 4b last September. I have undergone 6 months of ABVD. The gallium scan after treatment indicated there may still be a node with cancer in my chest. I am awaiting a PET scan to determine whether there is residual cancer. If there is then I will need an autologous bone…
Children's wigs
Have a 4 1/2 year-old niece with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She's had 3 haircuts shorter and shorter to hide the baldness but eventually she will go completely bald and will be that way for over 2 years until she finishes chemo and recovers from it. I've heard of an organization that makes wigs for children and it's something…
What happens after treatment
Hey guys. I was diagnosed with stage4 Hodgkins disease two years ago. I am now in my second year of remission, but I feel worse mentally then when I was treated. Throughout my entire treatment of chemo and radiation it was so hard to see my family cry. I decided to be strong and positive so there pain could be eased. Now…
Chemo effects/detoxifying???
I'm 1/2 way through my chemo-CHOP- and it's every 3 weeks. I find it increasingly difficult to deal with, possibly psychologically more than physically, but physically I feel awful for increasingly longer periods. Is there anything I can eat/ drink/do that will help alleviate some of the misery? Thanks!

Robert also had enlarged lymph nodes in the windpipe and clusters surrounding the windpipe. A biospy was done by inserting a long needle to the area where the most enlarged lymph nodes are at. Results…
