Kind of a personal question, but... ... anyone here ever dealt with having cancer? Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

I have close family members who have had it. I work for a group of surgeons that do a lot of cancer cases. PM me if you need info or just someone to talk to | |

The truth: I've been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma stage 4. Stage 4 for HL is different than a blood cancer like lung, liver, eat. Hodgkins is very receptive to treatment. The Oncologist said we're going into this with a curative goal. She's going to "push [me] to [my] limit." I suppose it's a plus versus having non-Hodgkins.

Best wishes on your treatment and a full recovery. My sister had to go through cancer treatment last year. This year she traveled to Chicago to celebrate life with myself, my son, and his wife. I hope the same for you and your's. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Keep trying to live your life and take enjoyment out of little things. It’s inevitable there’s going to pain in body and mind but be proud of what you’ve done, what you’re doing and what’s to come. All the best with things and ‘may you live to see the dawn’. 💜 There may or may not be something coming! | |

And now the hair is coming out. I figured it'd happen at some point. Started last night. My second chemo was just this past Thursday. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

I'm so sorry! Is the chemo making you very ill? | |

I've been thinking about you! Hopefully things will start to level out for you! Stay strong and positive. Maybe some smoothies would help | |
