My name is Brooke and I was dx with stage 3A Hodgkin's Lymphoma Feb 2006. I was cleared on Jan 2, 2007. I had a PET scan yesterday and go today for the results. This is the first forum that I have joined. I just think that I need to talk to others who have experienced the same types of situations that I have gone through the last 3 years. I am married and have a daughter who just turned 5. I am really looking forward to making some wonderful friends. Thank you.
Hi I'm Jeff 46m, married with children live in Montana, nice to meet you, I won't be around much because i'm on an agressive treatment program for sporadic Burkitts Lymphoma. But if you want to talk I'm game, I have lots to deal with and talking eases that. I have verizon, will be in the hospital for the next month. Email me at Jeff_R_@hotmail.com if you would like to talk.

Brooke and Jeff, hoping you are both feeling better. I am a Mommy too, it must be hard to have lymphoma nad be a parent. My Dad 74 was just diagnosed with Mantle Cell and we find out the specifics next week. Looking to be in touch with others having Lymphoma and their experiences to share with my Dad,

Since the early 1970s, incidence rates for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma have nearly doubled. Improved diagnosis has contributed greatly to the increase as doctors better understand cancer of lymphocytes and can distinguish it from other diseases.
