    Diagnosed at 24 and went with 6 cycles of ABVD and radiation. Now i'm 26. Just had my ct scan and check up yesterday and found out that it came back. I'll be having my chemo again next week with stronger medicines. 😔 Hope everything will go well. 🙏

    Diagnosed April 2020 and started chemo June 2020. I just finished treatment 11 last week with 1 more to go on the 22 of this month, December. This has been one hell of a ride! Found out after a petscan in August 2020 that I'm in remission.

    Had my first advb chemo yesterday for Hodgkin's lymphoma, i get 3 hours every 2 weeks for 4 months then another pet scan to see how im going, im early stage 2A highly favourable and no symptoms so its looking good for me , dont feel to bad and the drugs they give to help with side efects have improved , i still feel a little yuk but thats understandable after a treatment , im sleeping and eating fine and keeping a positive mindset , ive got this✌️im about to turn 44 years old and have lymphocyte rich classic hodgkin's lymphoma it's the most treatable of of the four different subtypes, only 5% of patients get this

    its been a while since I looked back at my experience with lymphoma (about 6 years). I remember these feelings. I really hope the quality of the medication is better in terms of side effects. I wish this for younger patients who may find it much more challenging to deal with it. I am glad you shared your experience. I felt a lot of the same stuff.

    I highly recommend water fasting during chemo treatments. I hardly ever hear about it outside of fasting cycles. But it really does help tremendously in reducing side effects and stressing cancer cells. Its much easier than it sounds too

    Your story is similar to the symptoms I've been getting, diagnosed in December 2018 with low grade non hodgkin lymphoma I started my chemo in January 2019 getting my infusion every 3 weeks and I had 8 sessions of chemo which finished in August and now I'm getting maintenance treatment every 8 weeks for next 2 years, biggest problem I've had is the fatigue and hearing you say brushing your teeth could cause you so much fatigue, well I've been getting the same symptoms and even making the bed was a effort, during my chemo I didn't suffer from any nausea but lately I've been getting sick just driving to the shops, hope your keeping well now, I have stage 4 follicular lymphoma

      my bf is steeping 3 leaves of graviola, (it is homeopathic). He drinks it in the morning and night (must be empty stomach). Of course he will be starting chemo, but he is also trying homeopathic remedies. Before his morning tea, he drinks a glass of water with mixed in baking soda and lemon. He will be drinking chicken bone and feet broths too (yes chicken feet is extremely good for you.) I wish you the best, keep your mind clear and positive.
