Post Treatment Anxiety
I was 41 years old when I was diagnosed with Stage 2A Hodgkins Lymphoma. Needless to say, it was the worst thing I could have imagined. My mother died when she was 48 years old 18 years ago of metastasized breast cancer and I feel like I am headed in the same direction. I completed ABVD and radiation in December 2010 and…

I need prayers everyone, I think my cancer came back, or it just never went away.
Well, back in July I was declared in remission, meaning there was nothing showing up on my PETs, and then I got two more rounds of intense chemo and was still clear. Three days ago I got a follow up PET and today my oncologist told me that there were two tiny metabolic spots. I can't do anymore chemo, so my options are…

Crushed dreams-maybe surrogacy???
Just found that my ABVD treatment I received five years ago has given me arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy and that I will not be strong enough to carry a baby. My autoimmune clotting condition just adds to this along with my terrible thyroid. I use to think my cancer was a blessing in disguise and it showed me how strong I…

Is 8 cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy normal?
Hello everyone, I have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. After 6 cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy every 3 weeks, my cancer doctor has told me that "metobolic CR attained". The "CR" means "Complete Remission". He said that the tumors I had are all gone. He wants to do 2 more cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy to consolidate metabolic…
Roller coaster ride trying to decide
Thought that the decision had been made..still deciding Chemo every two months for 2 years or Radiation infusion Zevilin. Worried about secondary cancer that maybe cause by radiation. We know that we shouldn't be worried about the unknown and deal with what we do know and that's making sure lymphoma is kept away, but still…
Anyone had a problem with this...
My husband had his first chemo 11/08/11 of R-Chop, since then he says he has a feeling of fullness in his abdominal region pushing up. He says it's better when he can burp but will fill up again. He has taken to drinking ginger ale which he says helps him burp and relieves the pressure. It creates more nausea with him…

My heart is broken
I am so angry and confused and distrustful right now. When I was 18 I was treated for Hodgkins Lymphoma with ABVD, my treatment went great. I had some terrible nausea and lost about 20 lbs but my counts never dropped, no transfusions, no hospitals. I am now a little over 5 years out and it seems like everything is…
Pet Scan!
Morning Guy's, my Pet Scan came back with a little scare ,but upon further review... lol, all is good! When we picked up my scan it showed activity in my hip bone,(where the original cancer was it's worst). There is still a SUV uptake of 2.1 there, but in talking with my Onc, this is a byproduct of treatment and not a…
