Tough News - dixiegirl (Beth)
I received a CSN message (as dixiegirl) from Beth's husband yesterday informing me she lost her battle with cancer on 5/14/2013. According to him, she picked up a parasite during chemo (cryptosporidium) and fought hard for two weeks but didn't have the strength to beat it. Her husband said he would appreciate it if I…

Pathology report said B Cell Lymphoma, nothing more...
Hello all, I had found a lump in my armpit in 2012, after sometime I went to my GP who in turn referred me to a general surgeon. Mid May I had my left axiliary lymph node removed for biopsy. The final pathology reports have now come back from the biopsy and indentify that it was B Cell Lymphoma. Nothing more, no specifics…
One year later and life will forever be seen with more loving and admiring eyes
It was one year ago today I walked into the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at MCV hospital in Richmond VA. I was walking into the ring where the prize was to live the life I was given. I was scared, unsure, and vulnerable to everything surrounding me. Yet through the pain came a joy and happiness I will always remember and…
Worry, Blood & Humor
I have an appointment in 2 days to have my port flushed and blood counts checked. I have had trouble all along with anemia and last month my blood counts were still low. My hemoglobin was 8.7 and an additional test informed that I have minimal reticulocytes (the youngest, newest blood cells). The best case scenario is that…

It truly brought the BIGGEST smile to my face just to see that you all simply remembered Kyle's wish to go to a baseball game…
International, no insurance
Hi, I'm new to this site. A close relative was just diagnosed with diffuse large B cell CNS lymphoma. She was visiting from China, has no insurance here, and as you can guess, out-of-pocket costs are very high. They have to pay up front for future chemo treatments, the next one should be in a week, with at least 7 more to…

Hoarse voice years after treatment
Greetings, I had treatment in 2004 for Hodgkin's lymphoma. The cancer was in my chest and lower neck. 9 years later, I am finding that my voice is hoarse and scratchy. It used to come and go, and now it seems to have stayed. :( Has any else had this issue? My oncologist kicked me out of his office (since i am technically…
Possible thyroid cancer or lymphoma :(
Well, for over a year now I've had a rounded lump on the left side of my neck. I'd always assumed it was a swollen lymph node and didn't really pay any attention to it. About 2 months ago it occured to me just how long I'd had it and went to the Dr and wound up having an ultrasound done, they also looked at my thyroid.…
stage 4 HL diagnosis-- how much worse is this going to get?
I was diagnosed with stage 4 HL in April and I had my second round of the ABVD just over a week ago. I felt horrible after my first round. I had a fairly traumatic mass exodus of hair today, but aside from that, the second round wasn't nearly as bad as the first. Was the first one the worst, or am I in the eye of the storm…
