my 15 year old daughter was diagnosed with hodkins stage 3b. She is being aggressively treated at sloan kettering in manhattan ny.She claims the treatment and side effects are worse than the disease. she needs 8 rounds of chemo. the first 4 rounds are beacopp and if she goes into early remission then she will do chopp abvd if not 4 more rounds of beacopp. her drs said this was the best type of cancer to have. It has been difficult to watch her suffer and take care of 3 younger children,This has affected our whole family.She has been admitted in to the hospital 3 times already. 2 times for a fever with a neutropenic count and the other times with the shingles. she already has has 4 blood transfusions and we are only on round 3.I would love to share my story with others and would love to hear from any one who is willing to share their nightmare, she has been frustrated and depressed and concerned about failing the 10th grade.She has been getting home schooled but she cannot keep to a schedule because of all the hospitalizations. I would love to hear from anyone.please contact me.
