Hello!

I had Hodgkins Disease when I was 13 years old, I am 23 now.  If you have any questions I can help answer them the best as I possibly can.  I am sure they have made plenty of advancements in the past 10 years.  At the time I was told if I had to get a cancer, that would be the one I would want.  Here to help!  Let me know!

hi guys, i'm 20 considered a hodgkins survivor, finishing radiation therapy did 6 cycls  of abvd, my radiologist scheduled me for 30.6gr radiation and based on my own research and clinical studies i've looked at they recomment 20gr nowadays

i had stage 2B hodgkins

i kept asking to lower the dosage to minimize later side effects but she insist that its wrong,

my ques: based on experiences from all the survivors here, how much radiation have you guys recieved? the mediastinal mass i had was 10cm, but it all went away after 3 cycles of abvd based on the pet scan results

please if anyone can help, this coming week is my last 8 sessions of radiation, last 10 gr left, i am confused and scared !!!!!!
