Non Hodgkins Relapse

Hi, my name is Jamey and my husband was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma in 12/04. After many chemo treatments, including ritoxan he was "cured". We were told that there was a possibility for a relapse and recently we found out that it did after only 1 1/2 years remission. 

Since October '06, he has undergone radiation, and high doses of methotrexate. His cancer has spread to his kidneys, brain, and other area of the body. Our family believes very strongly in prayer so if anyone would pray for him as we will pray for all of you and your families to stay strong and have faith in your caregivers.

If anyone knows of support groups for family members, especially spouses of cancer patients, please let me know. If not I am willing to start one. We all need to someone to talk to through these rough times.

God bless you!

My wife was just diagnosed with NHL.  In a "watch and wait" phase.  Will pray for your husband.

Hi Jamey, I have NHL also.Just had to stop the Rituxan and will watch and wait for now.I will most certainly pray for you and your husband during this time.Lord Bless you both, Jeanie

 

You have mine.

 My husband was diagonosed three weeks ago and today we found out it's spread - a lot... but have not received the full story from all the staging tests yet.

I wish I could offer resources, but I'm new to this.
