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…

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.

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…
