CT scan - Good News!
My husband Dave received some great news yesterday. He has received three rounds of Rituxin and Bendamustine, in the last three months. Dave had a CT Scan and the cancerous lymph nodes have shrunk by 70%! We are so grateful on this very special Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving wishes from Paella – sorry to have been missing for a while but…
…my husband was, out of nowhere, diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on approximately my 4 month SCT birthday. We were freaked out (that’s capital F-R-E-A-K-E-D.) In mid-September we thought he had a hernia, our Urology Nurse Practitioner at City of Hope (where he had a prostatectomy in ’10) thought he had a hernia but a CT…

perplexing symptoms
I am a 47 year old female and about 3 months ago the lymph nodes under my arms and in my groin started to ache. I made an appt with my pcp. She ordered bw. It all came back within the normal range with the exception of my RBC. They were slightly elevated. She said if my symptoms did not go away then she would most likely…
New Here awaiting results can anyone help
Here's what I know. I've had a right groin lymph node/nodes swollen for about a year. Nobody got very excitied. I also have had a significant node behind my right ear the same time frame. Rubbery, firm. The groin nodes are significantly larger. No pain. However, over 6-8 months, I lost 49-52 lbs. While I had a divorce, it…
Been a while
Good morning, I it has been quite a while since i posted, i was told as of last last i am still in remission, which makes it 15 months now. My labs were good and holding for the last 4 months, the fatigue has lessed some, but i do have my bad days, but they are tolerable. Started going to the gym, and i am able too walk…
Insult to Injury
This past Friday I noticed intermittent pain in my left ankle. By Saturday, I couldn't even walk on it. After contacting my onc to make certain he didn't think it was cancer related I was sent to the ER for an Xray. Thankfully there are no broken bones. I was sent home in an air cast on crutches. I don't recall doing…
Double hit non-Hodgkin Diffused large b-cell lymphoma (DH NHDLBL) recovery returns relapse?
Well, after finding and reading through this forum, I've gotta admit it's both refreshing and discouraging all at the same time. The length of the cancer fight some people have gone through is inspiration from the human spirit. Learning that I may "live" like this until death is, well, less than inspiring. I found the…
Muscle pain
does anyone have any ideas/experience controlling muscle and body aches with something other than prednisone? I think it could be classified as neuralgia and came along as an uninvited guest with my lymphoma. I just hate the side effects of prednisone. The NSAIDs like naproxen and ibuprofen help but damage my stomach. My…
NED
This is what my Oncologist told me this last Tues when I went in for my Rituxan maintenance. I had the PET/CT scans the week before. She told me the result were that there was no sign of any disease. What did show up was some inflamation in the sinus indicating sinuitis (I've had it for several years now) and inflamation…
Anyone's WBC 50 or greater
I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with NHL when I was 70, I have no symptons but my blood test show my WBC has risen to 47, when I was first diagnosed 3 yrs. ago it was 20. I was wondering should I be concerned about getting treatment. Although my spleen is slightly enlarged, My Doctor recommends since I feel good, no…
3rd Clinical trial!
But not for cancer. Rather, trials are being conducted to learn how to combat Graft-versus-Host-Disease for transplant patients. And, since I have a touch of that, I inquired about trials. I am treated at SCCA/Fred Hutchinson, so trials are their daily task. They found one sponsired by Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa that…
Hodgkins Lymphoma Symptoms??
Hi there, so I am really nervous about posting this because the last question sight I was on (Yahoo Answers) I got called every name in the book and all i'm really looking for is some insight. I'm not claiming to have HL and I know it's both rare and unlikely but I would like to hopefully still get some input. To make a…
Profuse Sweating and itching still after 2 years in remission
Hello, My name is Lisa and I am a survivor of stage 4B Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Stage 2B Leukemia, and stage 2B bone cancer. I have been in remission for 2 years now. My question is, how many of you still have horrible itching and the profuse sweating still just like it was when you had cancer? I can't even walk up 3 steps…
Zarxio
For the second time in a row, my third cycle has been postponed due to low Neutrophils. They are now at .8. Today the onc ordered a Zarxio shot to help build them up. I was told it's similar to Nuepogen and that I could expect side effects. I believe I am feeling it now. Bone pain and even nausea. I am scheduled to go back…
Watch and Wait.
Hello, My name is Kathy and I'm a 56 year old female newly diognosed, in October 2015, with stage IV Follicular Non-Hodgkin's found by chance during a pre-operative MRI on my shoulder for my rotator cuff surgery. After the MRI the technician asked me if I had anything "systemic" going on because something looked unusual in…
