I have an Aunt who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease in February. She is having a very hard time. I have to say her and her husband (which is my uncle by blood) are already very negative people. She is having a terrible time with her chemo. She is sick for a full week and will not eat hardly anything. I can't tell you what stage she is because I have no idea. Her Dr. did not do a bone marrow biopsy until last tues. I don't think they ever tested all her lymph nodes either. I want to help, but she is very down. I live 2 1/2 hrs. away so it is kind of hard. My father was diagnosed with Hodgkins about 20 years ago and I think he did the mopp chemo. He did very well and did not really get that sick until he started his radiation. He said that was the worst part. But we stayed very opitmistic with him. I worry about my Aunt because she will go a whole week without eating. I was wondering if that is normal and the best way to find a support group for her family. She has a 9 year old son.
