A little question about where your NHL was found, what part of your body?
My first diagnosis was found in the groin area, I found the lump myself. On the one and only recurrance I found a small lump under my left breast and it turned out to be the recurrance. Just wondered where others tended to spring up for the diagnosis with any of you? I mentioned in another post that 24 years later they…

Survivor's Guilt
I have been in treatment and not able to logon as often, but I just finished my last Rituxan maintenance. Two years went by incredibly fast and it's such a relief, but at the same time the anxiety of how long the relief will last is always there. I'm also feeling some survivor's guilt, has anyone been at this point and…

Afraid I may have relapsed!!
Hi everyone, I was declared in remission over 6 months ago from Hodgkin's Lymphoma stage two. I had a tumor in my chest as well as a swollen lymph node.

NHL - b cell - Mexico?
My brother has just finished his 8th chemotherapy treatment. Earlier tests provided optimism and showed that the tumor in his stomach had shrank by 60%. Now, all of a sudden, tests show that the cancer has progressed. He's now graduated to stage 4. His doctor now wants to do a more aggressive form of chemotherapy. (I don't…

I need prayers everyone, I think my cancer came back, or it just never went away.
Well, back in July I was declared in remission, meaning there was nothing showing up on my PETs, and then I got two more rounds of intense chemo and was still clear. Three days ago I got a follow up PET and today my oncologist told me that there were two tiny metabolic spots. I can't do anymore chemo, so my options are…

Crushed dreams-maybe surrogacy???
Just found that my ABVD treatment I received five years ago has given me arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy and that I will not be strong enough to carry a baby. My autoimmune clotting condition just adds to this along with my terrible thyroid. I use to think my cancer was a blessing in disguise and it showed me how strong I…
