Hello, new Hodger here
Was just diagnosed over Christmas. Well that's a fine thing. Never saw myself as a lymphomaniac, but there it is. Have learned much in these few short weeks. I did freak, for sure. Couldn't sleep...lay awake shaking all night. Mainly because I must keep my job...my GP goes, no you won't be able to, you're life is going to…

Hi Everyone - new from South Africa - a bit scared and lost
Hi Everyone My name is Kyla and the last 3 weeks of my life have felt like intolerable cruelty. The only thing that got me to today was God and praying.

Peripheral neuropathy from radiation
I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma in the fall of 2008 - follicular B cell, stage 1, in my right lower pelvis. It appeared as a lump a little smaller than an egg on my upper thigh. Not particularly painful, but I knew it was not normal. I received 18 IMRT zaps of radiation. I had no immediate side effects. After…

New lump
I was treated for Hodgkins in 1984 with mantle radiation and MOPP. 20 years later, I fought breast cancer that occured due to the radiation therapy. Now, I have swollen lymph nodes in my face and neck. I just got a CT scan and some blood work. Anyone have Hodgkins or NHL show up after having Hodgkins that long ago?

Back at it
After deciding to go with the Rituxan treatments every two months (versus radiation), and a nice break from any treatments (last treatment was in October Rituxan/Bendamustine), my husband had his first maintance treatment of Rituxan yesterday morning. After a 4 1/2 hour infusion he was pretty much knock out for the…

My dad had a clean pet scan after 3 treatments of rchop and he had his final(6th) treatment on Dec 12th. He did a pet scan and we are waiting for the results. Today my dad was supposed to have a cat scan and he was too sick to go. He was throwing up all last night. My mom thinks it a bug, but my dad doesn't. I'm scared it…

Life and exercise after RCHOP
After 6 rounds of RCHOP for Large B Cell Mediastinal Lymphoma, my oncologist said I was in remission. It has been three months since, and although my energy is returning I still don't feel 100% It seems like everyone around me expects me to be completely back to normal! One of my issues is that I am in the Air National…

Leg Pain
Happy New Year! I have a new symptom and want to know if any of you have experienced the same thing. I've been watching an area on the front of my shin that looked like a bruise, but then I thought maybe it was a vein. I noticed it about 6 weeks ago. Then 2 weeks ago my lower legs started hurting, especially at night. This…
