Pain after treatments end
Hi all. I was diagnosed last June with Hodgkins. I'm 46 years old. I'm new to this site. I completed my chemotherapy treatments last December and now I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my arms and shoulders. Anyone else?
Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplants Can Give You A Future
I am a 20 year NHL suvivor and I have been reading these boards now and again and one thing pops out at me over and over and I understand it 200% as I went through it as well - should I or shouldn't I have a transplant? It's a big question with scarey statistics and scarey unsure days in treatment but one thing is clear to…

How to be sure your cancer free?

A way to start off high school.
Hi my name is Victor and I figured I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma in September of 2009. What I find hillarious is that I was getting used to high school and everything when my mom takes me to the doctors and says that I have to go to the doctors. "Ummmmm....ok" Weeks before I had many other biopsee's and…
Cat Scans
I have not posted in a while. I am hanging in there. And the pet scan came out good. I have a cat scan to do, June 2nd. And seeing the Oncologist on June 9th. So hopefully that will turn out good. We will see. I did do the zevalin in December. So that should be my insurance policy. I am just not back to totally normal.…
Finding it Hard
I haven't been on here lately because it's been so hard. Getting on here is like makes me think of dads cancer and I don't want to. But....that is very selfish because I am sure dad doesn't want to think about it either but it's here and always will be. Things are getting rough, although his oncologist says he is in…
Had the Zevalin!
Hello to all and hope everyone is hanging in there. I had the Zevalin treatment 9 days ago and so far so good. I have to have weekly blood work the first of which was last Tuesday and that was good. Don't feel much except very tired. I would love to hear from others who have had this treatment. It is now being used instead…

32 year Hodgkin's SUrvivor
Hi, I am a 32 year Stage IIa Hodgkin's survivor. I was treated with Mantle and Inverted Y radiation at the Palo Alto Medical Clinic in 1978 and have had no recurrences. I had a massive hemorrhage in 1978 after my treatments from and ulcer that perforated an artery. I had a small stroke in 1997. Otherwise, I have been…
anxiously waiting
I caled the Doctors office today. The Medical assistant told me she would have to track down my results, and bring them to the Docotr. She called me back about 2 hours later to tell me that she has my results and gave them to the Doctor to call me. I tried fishing for ansers I asked if she could tell me anything. She said…
Where to find journals here about stem cell transplants
As my time for an auto stem cell transplant approaches...I find the need to talk with others who are/have experienced this before. I read on here that there journals for all to read about people who have gone through this process. Any advice/stories/anything would be helpful! Even some not-so-bad news about one who's gone…
How long for results of excisional lymph node biopsy
I have been battling with issues for a few months now. I have been diagnosed with other issues. However my subclavicularlymph node (neck) kept growing with no sign of infection. It has been six days now since the biopsy was done. If the inital testing by the pathologist dosent show anything, do they continue with the…
Breast Cancer Survivor of a year and half now worried
I have a few questions about Lymphoma. I think I may be paranoid. I'm not sure, now everything looks like it maybe cancer. I was dx on april 1st 2008 with stage 1 and grade 1 breast cancer at 34 years old. Finished radiation and chemo Nov of 08. All treatments went well. About 5 months ago I started to have serious back…
Anxious and paranoid
I had follicular NHL 3a and was dx in 2009. I was cancer free June 2009 and Sept 2009. I have had 2 rounds of Rituxin and another tomorrow. I have the longest list of questions for the Dr. tomorrow. I hate that I am an anxious and paranoid person now. I am a Christian and am so thankful for all the blessings I have and…
Auto Stem Cell Transplant
I am currently undergoing ICE chemo in prep for my auto stem cell transplant late May early June. I am just terrified and not sure. Is someone able to stay with you during isolation? Do you sleep most of the time? How do you feel when you are released? I am also trying to think positive as many stories about transplant are…
NHL treatment in mexico
Is anone familiar with treatment in mexico?
Any Hodgkin's Survivors with Heart Issues?
My first episode of sustained Tachycardia in 1991 sent me to the ER and routine chest x-rays discovered a tumor in my chest near my heart. I was soon diagnosed with Stage IIa HL. In 1996, I had another episode of sustained Tachycardia that sent me to the ER again. In 1999 the Tachycardia became so frequent, I needed to be…
Alveolitis
Has anyone had alveolitis? I'm in the hospital now with pneumonia and alveolitis. The alveolitis may be related to Bleo toxicity. If this is the case they will stop the Bleo for the remainder of my treatments.
Pet Scan?
Ok, so on Tuesday I have my first PET scan scheduled. How different is getting a PET scan done compared to getting a regular CT scan? I'm kind of scared because the last time I had a CT scan done after starting chemo the dye burnt really really bad going into my veins. Which I think is a result of the chemo because it…
treatment in Mexico Hyper-CVAD
I have been diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). It is my understanding the most effective treatment for MCL is Hyper-CVAD. My wife and I have been planning on moving/retiring to mexico for years. We plan to continue with that goal, however this pesky cancer problem presents it's own questions I need help with. Any…
Back from Biopsy
I had posted previously asking questions about excision of groin lymph node. The Dr. ended up taking out three lymph nodes but told my family they looked benign to him. I should have the results in 3 to 4 days. So, it does sound good. I do wonder why he would have taken three out when only one had been swollen for a long…
Non Hodgkins Lymphoma Success
I am in a doctor's lobby waiting for my appointment so can't go into all the details of my history with non hodgkins lymphoma but the main point is one of hope. I am a 20 year cancer survivor having had one recurrance which led to a bone marrow transplant 2 years later that saved my life. Today is a new day in cancer…
To get a Stem Cell Transpalnt or Not??
Has anyone ever been in remission without getting a stem cell transplant. And if so, for how long were you in remission? I am told I am in remission (just for the past 2 months), I feel ok, except for all the bone and muscle pain from all the chemo, yet the doc still wants to give me a stem cell transplant cuz he tells me…
Excision Groin Lymph Node
In one way I feel bad even posting here because I don't know yet if I even have cancer, so I probably shouldn't even be bothering you. But, I am really scared. I went to the Dr. with a swollen groin lymph I had for quite some time. He did my blood work which came back fine - then said he would send me to a surgeon for a…
I need help, I'm really scared.
Hi everyone, I'm a 17 year old male with some serious problems lately. A few weeks ago I got over a pretty nasty cold. Coughing and stuff. I'm still spitting up phlegm in the mornings (still lingering in my system). Either way, what I'm so concerned about is a small pea like, soft, movable cyst that appeared in the side of…
