i was scheduled for another ct scan (12th. in the last 1 1/2 yrs.) this time i did not have the $200.00 dollar co-pay and was told that they can refuse me if i don't have the money. i was needless to say shocked and very upset. they said they would have to get the okay from my doctor to go ahead with the scan. it was so…
I think I got fired because I had cancer
I was diagnoised with NHL back in April 2008. At the time I was working for AT&T Wireless as a sales consultant. AT&T did have a good medical program and I was able to take FMLA for about 6 months so I could go through Chemo treatments, two operations and seven trips to the hospital. I went back to work in late October…
pancreatic lymphoma
I have pancreatic lymphoma, which apparently is very rare, although potentially a better prognosis than the usual pancratic adenocarcinoma. However, I can't find much information asbout this. Anyone out there with any experience with this?
Can't find local support
I am very frustrated by the lack of local support for lymphoma patients! I am a single mom, and I am currently in treatment for aggressive B-cell NHL. I also just got laid off from my job.

Just a question I can not shake....believe me I have tried
The more lymphoma survivors I communicate with, the more I have this burning question. I have spoken/chatted/communicated with at least 4 other lymphoma survivors who were on weight watchers prior to getting hit with lymphoma. Has anyone else noticed this or am I going nuts? Who else was on Weight Watchers shortly before…

My now youngest brother ( the first youngest passed away in 2005, due to a fall from a bridge), was diagnosed in Nov 2008 with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. according to his doctor, he has the most aggressive form that she has seen in her career. He has tried every chemo, radiation and can't progress enough for a bone marrow…
Another Caregiver
Wow. Not sure where to start. I have a need to vent - so I'm just going to do that. If no one answers back, that's ok - just putting my thots into words will help me. And who knows - may find someone out there who will share their wisdom with me :-) My sister's husband has had Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma for 7 years. Two years…

non hodgkins lymphoma
has anyone had non hodgkins lympnoma in your abdomen? slow growing?
yes or no on the booster shot?
Hi. I start treatment this week for NHL. The good ol' R-CHOP regimen. My question: in interviewing oncologists, I had differing opinions on whether to receive the white blood cell booster shot after each chemo round. I'm young and in good health (well, minus the cancer bit). Should I push to receive the shot? Why or why…

Sibling Recently Diagnosed
I was originally diagnosed at age 14 with Stage 1A Hodgkin's in 1988, had Mantle Radiation for 4 weeks and eventually was considered in remission. In 1991, I relapsed and was given a 6 month course of ABVD/MOPP and considered in remission again. Since then I had three children (not expected to have any) and have dealt with…

Record Keeping
I know that there are so many other things going through your mind when you go through diagnosis, treatments, and even follow-ups. But one thing that gets forgotten about, and while not may be that big of an issue in the digital age, but for those who still deal with paper records, it is so important that you keep a record…
