Stages

Good afternoon,

At least it here in the Netherlands. I am doing some research on Hodgkin and am interested in the stages of development.

What i would like to know is which symptoms people have in the first stage.

Is this for instance only a big lump somewhere or do they fill already very tired,sick and lack appetite.

Is there someone who has information about Hodgekin and little children. Children till 5 years old?

I hope someone can answer these questions.

Dear Fortis,
My sister wasdiagnosed last February she is stage 3b and she will be doing a second round of chemo in 3 days. she started off with a lump that she has for about a year , which dissapeared and re-appeared for a whole year. then we lost my grandma and she was under extreme shock and stress and suddenly she was swollen everywhere, that is when we found out she has cancer. She had nght sweats and lack of energy, but sporadically for a year. She is now 23 yrs old.
Hope that helps.
