Hi There: Was just wondering if anyone has every used Poly-MVA to treat your Hodgkin Lymphoma. Or used it in combination with chemo. I was diagnosed with Nodular Sclerosing HD back in March 2008. Still dealing with it. Chemo will only put me into remission for a month or two. Then back to more chemo and now they want to do an Auto Transplant. Personally, I'm sick of all this crap. I've been seeing two docs cuz I wanted a 2nd opinion and each one tells me something different. Both have different views as to what treatments I should get. I don't know who to believe. I'm ready to find an alternative way to cure this without poison. OH, if only it were that simple.

Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    Sorry can't really help with this, haven't had it and don't have any info about it. However I heard your frustration at having a differing 1st and 2nd opinion and I went thru that at first as well. Lucky for me ( and I hope for you) my insurance had told me up front that in the event that happened they would pay for a 3rd opinion!! So that really helped me make my decision since the third agreed with the first.

    Hope that works out for you and if it doesn't I hope that you can find peace with one of them . Praying for you! Best of luck.
