Hodgkin's Lymphoma Support Group
Hodgkin's lymphoma, formerly known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. Unlike other lymphomas, whose incidence increases with age, Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs more frequently in two separate age groups, the first being young adulthood (age 15-35), the second being in those over 50 years old.

Thanks!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
so far i am doing well with not having this re show up i have had about
4-5 pet scan's since they found my hodgkins its been about 3-4 years i havent needed a pet scan again for about a year
as far as i know the best way to try and make sure that its under controll is to do both treatments
with me being 28 now and i was bad over weight they first liked the weight problem cause you lose weight in chemo
they said that i was on the strongest chemo that they could possibly put someone on i am trying to be able to move on since and continue with my goals i had set before it was found for instance gastric bypass surgery
and i wanna be a support to others going through the chemo and radiation treatments
its hard to find a support who knows what its all about unless they themselves have been there
