Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin)

Finding it Hard
I haven't been on here lately because it's been so hard. Getting on here is like makes me think of dads cancer and I don't want to. But....that is very selfish because I am sure dad doesn't want to think about it either but it's here and always will be. Things are getting rough, although his oncologist says he is in…

Any Hodgkin's Survivors with Heart Issues?
My first episode of sustained Tachycardia in 1991 sent me to the ER and routine chest x-rays discovered a tumor in my chest near my heart. I was soon diagnosed with Stage IIa HL. In 1996, I had another episode of sustained Tachycardia that sent me to the ER again. In 1999 the Tachycardia became so frequent, I needed to be…
Zevalin
Hi to everyone, Hope this finds all of you well. My PET scan yesterday showed a complete remission. What a blessed relief. I am so thankful. However I now find myself needing to make a big decision as to ongoing treatment that I was not prepared for. I thought I would be having Rituxan every three months and was prepared…

How long for results of excisional lymph node biopsy
I have been battling with issues for a few months now. I have been diagnosed with other issues. However my subclavicularlymph node (neck) kept growing with no sign of infection. It has been six days now since the biopsy was done. If the inital testing by the pathologist dosent show anything, do they continue with the…
Back from Biopsy
I had posted previously asking questions about excision of groin lymph node. The Dr. ended up taking out three lymph nodes but told my family they looked benign to him. I should have the results in 3 to 4 days. So, it does sound good. I do wonder why he would have taken three out when only one had been swollen for a long…

Where to find journals here about stem cell transplants
As my time for an auto stem cell transplant approaches...I find the need to talk with others who are/have experienced this before. I read on here that there journals for all to read about people who have gone through this process. Any advice/stories/anything would be helpful! Even some not-so-bad news about one who's gone…
Auto Stem Cell Transplant
I am currently undergoing ICE chemo in prep for my auto stem cell transplant late May early June. I am just terrified and not sure. Is someone able to stay with you during isolation? Do you sleep most of the time? How do you feel when you are released? I am also trying to think positive as many stories about transplant are…

To get a Stem Cell Transpalnt or Not??
Has anyone ever been in remission without getting a stem cell transplant. And if so, for how long were you in remission? I am told I am in remission (just for the past 2 months), I feel ok, except for all the bone and muscle pain from all the chemo, yet the doc still wants to give me a stem cell transplant cuz he tells me…
Excision Groin Lymph Node
In one way I feel bad even posting here because I don't know yet if I even have cancer, so I probably shouldn't even be bothering you. But, I am really scared. I went to the Dr. with a swollen groin lymph I had for quite some time. He did my blood work which came back fine - then said he would send me to a surgeon for a…

I seem to have it in my arms and leg muscles and my shoulders. It makes me wonder what that means. I will give it a few more days and go get that checked out. After going through all this stuff since 04, and all the chemicals you get really panicky. Hope you are all doing well. Hilde
I need help, I'm really scared.
Hi everyone, I'm a 17 year old male with some serious problems lately. A few weeks ago I got over a pretty nasty cold. Coughing and stuff. I'm still spitting up phlegm in the mornings (still lingering in my system). Either way, what I'm so concerned about is a small pea like, soft, movable cyst that appeared in the side of…
Blood Counts post Stem Cell
I would love any input from post stem cell transplant patients on how long it took for their counts to stabilize. My sister's Netrophils Absolute is still up and down at almost Day 90. The Doctors don't act overly concerned but it is really stressing her out. Anybody else have this experience?
Lots of symptoms, no answers. What were your symptoms prior to diagnosis?
Hi, I'm new here and I feel sort of shy posting this, as I have not actually been diagnosed with lymphoma, though my oncologist has suspected it because of my various symptoms. I have had severe night drenches, itchy skin, occasional red blotches on my abdomen, severe fatigue and weakness and palpable lymph nodes in my…
Treanda - Recently Treanda was added to my F. lymphoma treatment, any info. or advice?

Hello to all and hope this finds everyone staying positive, I had my bone marrow biopsy last weds. and that went fairly well.I was glad because the one before was not so good. I got the call yesterday from my MD who told me the bone marrow was completely clear. I was stunned as I had 50% bone marrow involvement when I was…

Has anyone gone to a Naturopathic? My cousin's wife had Leukemia about 15 years ago and she was in a trial treatment. She was given high doses of vitamins before her chemo and radiation and supposedly was in the group with the best remission/survival rates. Has anyone tried vitamin therapy with their cancer treatments and…

My 39 yr old son was recently diagnosed with nodular lymphocyte dominant lymphoma after 8 months of testing. He has no symptoms but a mass was discovered below his abdomen during an appendectomy. His appendix burst & it was a nasty infection. I am concerned about which treatment is best & also want to make sure the…
