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. Also the CT pathologist finding thinks and I quote him "this node morphologically has a benign appearance" but how he knew without biopsy. I remember the CT finding before I…

HL Causes
I thought I already posted this and maybe it was removed. The question I have is why aren't Dr.s asking more about what we did before finding the HL? It seems like they would want to know all of my activities, medicines and habits and then compare to all others with HL. I hope that finding the cause is just as important as…

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…

Quick update...
Hi, Sorry for the lack of posting, but it's been a very hectic last 3 months for me. I finished radiation on my eye and all went well. My check up last Thursday showed there is still a small amount of cancer in the eye, but we will watch it closely for new growth before anymore radiation will be done. 2 weeks ago today I…

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). I had a bad reaction to the "A" and they switched the IV to my left arm and slowed it down so the normally 1 hour drip took 4. It felt like my entire arm was on fire from the…

A Story - Feelings of Cancer [non-hodgkins Lymphoma]
Once you’re in it, it’s like: All right, I can do that. I did it. I had that sense of accomplishment for my part, as microscopic as this was stacked up with the efforts of my Doctors and Caregivers. I felt as though I had been conditioned for that situation, as weird as that may sound. Much of my parents' strict…

New Family Member
I adopted this little girl yesterday. Haven't decided what to name her yet. She's about 6 months old and a bundle of energy and already mostly housebroken (been a couple of excited pees). She likes to dip her front paw(s) in her water bowl before she drinks. At certain angles, she looks fox like. She moves so much, it's…
Recipe Added
Member "Mardigras" recently added a recipe for "Mardigras' Turkey and Ginger". That's the first activity in about two years. It took awhile for me to figure out/remember how I set this up but I got it. Below is the link to the site and a list of recipes. I set this up almost 3 years ago for our members, caregivers and…

Depression and anxiety
I had my one year check up and at this time I am in remission from stage 4 NHL. Instead of check ups every 3 months i dont have to see my oncologist until 6 months. While I am very happy for the news i find myself more depressed and anxious than ever. I will be 67 next month and that may be part of my problem. The cancer…

Recurrent HL
Hello, everybody! I first was diagnosed with classic HL in 2011, 2A with a mass in the right supraclavicular node, and another mediastinal mass. I must have joined this network then, because my email was registered when I went to "join" tonight. I just don't remember posting here. I think I read a lot, but didn't feel I…
Cake
In honor of the retreat I just attended, and to celebrate summer, my favorite season; to debut the kooky and festive cake stand that followed me home from an estate sale, may I present my lemon poundcake with blueberry cream cheese frosting decorated with sugared blueberries.
Am I An ABVD Failure?
As soon as I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma my oncologist (who had previously treated me for anal cancer) started me on a course of ABVD chemotherapy. The results have been disastrous. Aside from the expected side effects (hair loss and metal mouth) I began to waste away until my appetite disappeared, my weight…
