Hi...am the mother of a 6 yr old little girl. 2 years ago she was diagnosed with Hodgkins stage II. After long chemo & radiation , she got thru . However, last Thursday she had her yearly checkup via scan and now her Dr is saying possible relapse as no of tumours compared to 2006 has increased. i thought maybe residue tumours but the Dr reckons new tumours. What do i do now?

I am a 2-time survivor of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I was first Dx. in 1999 at the age of 29. I had a recurrence in Dec. '06 and had more chemo followed by a stem cell transplant in May. I am in remission once again. I'm not sure if stem cell transplants are recommended for young children, but you should discuss all options with your doctor. Always remember that your daughter has youth on her side and more fight in her than you could possibly imagine. She will make it through. Your job is to research all available options ans get her the best treatment possible. These networks are a good start. Good luck and God Bless.0
