Archives for February 2015

anyone else having issues post chemo
I'm 7 months post chemo, two all clear pet scans but I'm feeling exhausted all the time. I also can barely eat due to nausea(I am taking zofran multiple times a day), my neuropathy is getting worse, my heart shows signs of mild damage due to the Adriamycin. It's depressing and confusing, I'm supposed to be getting better…

Newbie spouse here, and scared
Hi all, my spouse has just been diagnosed with Lymphoma this past Friday. We have a close friend in the lab, so that much we know. We have yet to meet with the Oncologist so we don't even know if it is Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin type. I think I remember our lab buddy stating stage 2 something...it was all a blurr of…
UK vs American treatment
Hi everyone, I am a 63 year old male from the UK and have just been given the good news that I am in remission from NHL after 8 R-CHOP cycles. I am a bit curious about any differences between treatment in the United States and the UK. I notice that in the US it seems standard to use a port for chemo infusions, is this…

Hi Rocquie: Don't think you got this. Trying again. Nancy
My Dad has just been diagnosed with HSTCL
Hi everyone I found your page when trying to come to grips with my Dad's diagnosis and understand a bit about this type of lymphoma. My Dad is 68, and in October 2014 went to hospital after having had some really bad unexplained bruises. One simply appeared before his eyes after shaking a shaving can. He was diagnosed with…
ALCL or any other T Cell Lymphomas
I was hoping to chat with some others that may be being treated for or have been treated for these types of lymphoma. I have been on this site and few others but seem to be flying solo. All posts seem to be two to three years old. A part of me is happy that so few people have to deal with this type of NHL, but any feedback…

I've also been having some difficulty breathing as well. another strange thing that has been happening is that I break out in…
phlabitis/chemo
Hi Everyone, wel life has been very interesting this last month. I haven't been really on the forum much. The phlabitis I ended up with is still in both of my arms but not as bad. The swelling has gone down within the last week, I have surely been relieved to see that. My oncologist did a ultrasound on them last week so I…
Hi to all my friends
As I look at the names I recognize some of you. I haven't been on this site for about 4 years. I want to write about HOPE. There are so many new treatments availble to us. I went to MOFFIT in Tampa, Florida for a seminar and learned something that was encouraging. I was in remission 5 years then and they told me my chances…
Last Rituxan Maintenance
Yesterday, I had my last of 2 years worth of Rituxan maintenance infusions. Things got dicey at the end. The bag was almost empty when I suddenly became dizzy, nauseous, and broke into a cold sweat. I threw off my blanket and ripped off my sweater. I was trying to wait to be disconnected from my pump so I could go to the…
CANCER STABILIZED
Hello Folks: I had a very good Oncologist for about 3 years. He decided to leave and departed the end of August 2014. The cancer clinic is part of a nearby hospital. I miss him; had a good rapport, which is important. His replacement is very good too, but the rapport is gone. Well, anyway, I have had what the Onc. calls,…
