I had only stage 1A, nodular sclerosing Hodgkins.  We got several recommendations from different doctors and prayed a lot for wisdom and direction.  And kept praying until we had peace.  God is faithful.I'm very thankful, I've been blessed with a busy, active life with my family and friends.  The only thing I struggle with in recent years is asthma symptoms, which may or may not be from the chemo..I don't know.God bless, be strong you'll get through this..keeping you in prayer... Geridb Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT Hi my name is Erica. I'm 24 years old and was recently diagnosed with stage 2A hodgkins lymphoma.  I went to 2 different doctors to get opinions on treatment.  One doctor suggested 4 cycles of ABVD, while another suggested 6 cycles of ABVD.  I know it all depends on what the scans show, but I was wondering if there is anyone out there who did only 4 cycles?  This is all pretty new and scary to me so I was looking for any survivors who have advice for me.   esbp1 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT
