Preparing for Colonoscopy with Hyponatremia
I did not participate in the recent discussion (Gina) about colonoscopy. I have never had one, but my oncologist has been nagging me about it. I asked my family doctor: "If I had colon cancer, wouldn't it show up on a PET scan"? She replied, "Probably". I asked my oncologist the same question and his reply was: "Not before…
Long term survival question regarding shortness of breath
Hello Everyone, I am a Hodgkin's Survivor of approximately 22 years. My treatment consisted of 6 cycles of ABVD and about 6 weeks of mantle radiation. Prior to my diagnosis my lung capacity seemed to be far superior to what it was after. Now, at age 50, I'm wondering if there is much I can do to increase my stamina and…

Rituxan Maintenance #8 - Interesting Day
If I count the 8 times I had Rituxan as part of R-CHOP, my 8th maintenance infusion yesterday made the 16th time I've had this drug. I don't feel very good today, as I knew I wouldn't, but it is temporary and certainly worth it. There were 2 women sitting across from me having Rituxan for the first time. One woman starting…
Anyone heard from Matt or Karl (Shoopy)?
I have a question please!
Hello! I haven't been here for awhile. I have a question. I have been in remission for two years this coming December from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Diffuse B Cell.

Maybe back in chemo chair.
Wednesday was my one year checkup since I finished my ABVD, and it appear that a node in the neck grew 2mm in size within the last 6 months.

Funny Cat Video... Chemo #2 this week... No Sleep for me!!
16 days after my 26th birthday I was diganosed with Stage 2B Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I had Chemo #1 on June 5th. ABVD in my right arm (3 of the 4 drugs).
