About Me
I was diagnosed with stage 2A Hodgkin's lymphoma in May 2008. I received 8 treatments of ABVD and had a great partial response but then the mass grew a liitle bit. I had two rounds of R.I.C.E which did NOTHING!. I had 4 weeks of radiation which kicked its butt! I am currently undergoing the first of two stem cell transplants . I have been married for almost 13 years now and have two of the most wonderful kids ages 6 and 9. They are the reason I am going to beat this thing!

Treatments
- ABVD Somewhat Helpful
- after 4 rounds of ABVD the mass stopped responding. Switched to R.I.C.E
- Chemotherapy Not Working
- 2 rounds of R.I.C.E that had no affect at all.
- Lovenox Working / Worked
- I have a blood clot in my jugular vein from a mass pressing on it and causing the blood to pool. I am on Lovenox injections twice a day to thin the blood and help the clot to dissolve.
- Radiotherapy Working / Worked
- 4 weeks of radiation before being admitted for 2 stem cell transplants. Huge throat irritation from the radiation.
