bone pain with bendamustine
My wife is experiencing bone pain after her 5th round of bendamustine/rituxan. I have seen many reports of joint aches and pains on this board but not a discussion of bone pain. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? She has had Rituxan numerous times without any issues so we are fairly sure it is the Treanda that is…
Latest SCT Update...sorry so late
The easiest way to describe this is by days. I think you all knew that on May 23rd I collected the requried cells needed for transplant. The problem after that was the delay in getting the BCNU (one of the chemo drugs due to shortage) so my high dose chemo was delayed by about a week. I Started my 5 day chemo round on…
How long before the symptoms go away?
Hello everybody! I had NPL Hodgkin's Lymphoma stage 3 for who knows how long. I did the RCHOP regiment for 9 months and now have been cancer free for almost 3 months.

PET scan tomorrow
My 6th PET scan will take place tomorrow. Fun times I should say. I should be worried about the results, instead I'm upset about the fact I can't have my morning 3 cups of coffee. Ohhh the little things in life. I remember after being diagnosed with Cancer how I got more upset about the fact that the Heart Center where I…
