I am from San Francisco. I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma a 2 weeks. I had enlarged lymph axillary node. I had a bone marrow sample taken last week. I should know the results soon. Any idea what I should expect to do next? Thanks

Hey Henry My name is Nicole, I was diagonised with Hodgkins in May 06, I have been in remission for 3 years in Nov. I have been thru the bone marrow test which is horrible, I did Chemo for about 6 mths, its a cancer that you can beat. Chemo will get make you weak and a lot of things that you loved to eat and drink will be different.. If you have any questions, I can help by answering bc i have been there..

This is a very treatable disease. I was diagnosed with stage III in March and I have undergone 9 treatments. My 3 month PET scan was negative. After the first treatment, my lymph nodes in my neck had already gone down. I have a caringbridge blog if you would like to read more. www.caringbridge.org/visit/melodyk

I was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkins in May. My bone marrow scan was negative. Currently undergoing chemo. It's a very treatable disease. I've had some definite symptomatic improvement and after 2 rounds (four treatments) of chemo I will undergo a repeate PET scan next week to check progress. I hope to see a significant reduction in activity in the tumor.
