Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma (NLPHL)

Hello,

I was recently diagnosed with Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma. Stage 2a with a bilateral presentation of lymph nodes with disease above the diaphragm. I just started R-ABVD, will do 3-4 cycles followed by radiation. Was hoping to hear from others with this condition and who have done this chemo regimen. I have had one infusion so far and main side effect has been facial and neck flushing, some fatigue. Any advice from those who have done this ?

    Hi, I have stage 4 classic hodgkin lymphoma.

    Just had brentuximab vedotin, my first chemo on Dec 4, without any side effects.

    I must be one of the lucky ones
