Re: my sister was diagnosed with hodgkins
I am very sorry to hear about your sister and I know exactly what you are going through. My wife was diagnosed with HD stage 3 in September. She is 30 years old and had her 2nd chemotherapy treatment today. She is also going to have 6 months of ABVD. What your sister is going through right now is the worst part - the shock of the diagnosis and all the tests. Once my wife started the treatment, things settled down a lot. She is still able to work and do most of the things she would normally do. She just takes it easy for the few days following treatment. Things will get much easier for your sister once she gets the tests over with and begins treatment.
Just try to stay focused and don't let the fear run your life!
Best of luck to your sister and your family.

Re: my sister was diagnosed with hodgkins
my sister was diagnosed with stage 4 hodgkins on 9/5/95. she took 6 months of chemo and has been in remission ever since. they consider her cured now. it is very scary but just stick together and you all will be fine.
