CT SCAN RESULTS AFTER 3 ABVD TREATMENTS
I was diagnosed as a stage 3A bulky nodular sclerosis. After 3 treatments, at 2A, my oncologist wanted to do a ct scan earlier than later. I was totally floored and pleased with the results! My left neck, left chest (7.5 cm area) my spleen and my liver were all affected. The latest ct scan reveals that my neck, spleen and…

Books on Hodgkin's?
Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations on books that might be helpful on Hodgkin's? I'm not a medical professional (and I don't play one on TV ;-)) so something that is more lay-oriented might be better in this early stage. I figure that as we get more into treatment, I'll get smarter and be able to understand more of…
No sex drive
I am a 57 year old female, I had non hodgkins follicular cancer in 2002-2003 and a stem cell transplant in 6/03.

Diagnosed last night - in shock
Last night my husband of nearly 16 years came home and told me that the "so-called nothing biopsy" (done about 10 days ago) from the lymph nodes in his neck showed that he had hodgkin's disease. His doctor immediately sent him for a PET scan, several xrays of his chest and abdomen and maybe some others too. He was in too…
Young women who have gone through chemo
A personal question for you - how long did it take for your menstural cycles to return to normal - or did they? Thank you, Lisa
Cancer and Sexual Relations
This question may sound inappropriate, but it is a legitamte, serious one. I am 16 years of age. I have chemo in me, and my girlfriend and I were wondering if we are able to have any form of sexual relation. If she were to have my semem inside of her, in anyway, would she be affected? Would she get sick, if transffered…
Throat radiation eating
Hello All! I hope everyone is doing well (at least as well as can be expected) I am wondering if anyone has had as bad of a time as I am having with radiation. I have just finished 10 treatments to my throat and neck and my doctor has postponed treatment because my throat area has too much inflamation. I was in severe pain…
After-Effects of Chemo
What has everyone experienced? I can't describe it, but sometimes I just feel like I am not here. Being a new mom, type A, remember everything type of person, this is SOOOOOOOO not conducive to my life style. Any thoughts, experiences or guidance on how to combat this and how long does it last? Is this something that I…
mono and possible hodgkins cancer
I found out I had mono a year and a half a go. Since then my gland on the left side of my neck has not subsided. I've experienced weight and hair loss and also fatigue. The doctor thinks I have no reason to be concerned with having cancer. Does anyone know any info about mono and cancer or can anyone help me? I am only 23…
