Wife Of Hodgkins Needs Support

Liz,

You are not going on and on, no worries.  Its always great to have someone to talk to that understands everything you are going through.  My husband went through 8 rounds of ABVD and then 3 weeks of radiation.  (That seems like nothing compared to what your husband is going through).  He was diagnosed with Hodgkins 2b, it was in his neck and chest and he had symptoms present.  We were married for 10 years and had three children, the youngest was 3wks. old when he was diagnosed. My heart goes out to you for your ongoing struggle, its such a long time to be going through all of this.  It is such a horrible thing to go through as a patient and a caregiver, but like I said before, it really does in an odd way strengthen your marriage. 

I have no idea what the stem cell transplant must be like, or the last treatment that you mentioned?  I know it has to be awful for both of you.  My thoughts are with you.  Also, another outlet that I really poured myself into was excercise. I dont know what free time you do have (probably not much with a little one and your husbands treatments), but if you can get in an hour or so to yourself sometime during the day, it really does work miracles for your sanity.  Just anything you can do, I always felt calm, centered, and like I could cope with the situation.  Hang in there and dont feel like you are going on and on.  We have to support each other.  I wish I would  have had someone in my situation to talk to during my husband's treatments.  So, message me anytime.

 

Robin
