Hello, I am a 25 year survivor of Hodgkins. when i was first diagnosed my son was 3 weeks old and there had been effective treatments for only one year! i was sure i was going to die and never see my son grow up. he is now 25 and a fine young man. one of the things i found most helpful was a book called "getting well again" by dr's simonton and simonton. it is still published and many of you probably have it. i still have my copy and turn to it now and then. if any of you wish to be in touch my email is

It was so great to see your message, we both are very long term survivors ( 26 years for me) and we both know how scared these young people are. they need to know they can make it just like we did.0
