Hi everyone my name is Scott, I was diagnosed with Stage IIB Hodgkin's Lymphoma Nodular Sclerosis in 11/04 after complaining about a chronic cough, daily fevers, and head n neck swells(caused by superior vena cava syndrome). I received 12 cycles(2 doses for every cycle, 1 doses every 2 weeks) of ABVD, and 20 sessions 5 days a week of radiation therapy. On Oct. 28, 2005, i received my results from my PET scan taken a few weeks ago. New lesions in my upper chest and i am scheduled to start a new more agressive chemotherapy consisting of Cisplatin(sp?) and Ara-C. Just wondering if anyone has taken these following drugs? Has anyone taken both regimens? How harsh are they compared to each other? thanks everyone for taking your time to read this and I welcome any and every response i get thanks!
