I have a huge supportive family who have been here to try and cheer me up and keep me positive but I feel like I also need to face the reality of my situation and be allowed to cry and let myself feel the emotions I'm trying to hold back. That's why I found this forum so I could talk to other people who have had or have this.I haven't had many tests done yet or been referred to an oncologist because my doctor is still waiting on the final results from my lymph gland biopsy (I had it surgically removed a week ago). Therefore I don't know what stage of the disease I have and that is really scaring me because I know there are different treatments and survival rates depending on the stage you are at. I keep thinking the worst but at the same time I don't want to stress/worry about how bad it could be until I know for sure.I read in another one of your messages that you are paranoid about the Hodgkin's returning and I can imagine how that must feel. I am paranoid right now about what stage I'm at because I keep thinking back and realising that certain medical conditions I suffered were actually symptoms of this disease. And then I start worrying that any aches and pains I have in my body indicate that the cancer has spread to that body part, which is probably not the case...Anyway, I hope you're doing OK and would love to hear back from you.Thanks,Natalie Nataliec_333 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT Hi Natalie,I remember being exaclty where you are right now! Where was the biopsy done? Mine was done under the arm. When you receive results please post them on here asap. I would love to support you and help you through this. No-one knows better than someone who has been there! I am still going through treatment so we can talk and ecourage each other if you need someone to talk to!!Love Heleina xox Heleina Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT dear,i read ur mail.i really feel sorry 4 u & feel good that u have recovered.Actually my FATHER is suffering from recurrent hodgkins stage 2 after 3yrs.now doctors r advising chemo & radiation therapy.My father is feelin very sensitive & upset to face all this.i want to know that have u taken any herbal treatment with the conventional treatment?have u heard that this disease can be cured thru herbal chinese remedies.plz watch these sites & let me know that r they effective?www.lymphoma-cancer-cure.comwww.4uherb.comwww.cancerchoices.complz i'm very tensed & need some support.MAY GOD BLESS U takecare mahwish Thu, 02 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT Hi Dawn I read your message and would like to ask you a question.  Were you diagnosed with Hogkens before they did the biopsy.  I am a 41 year old female who had a regular physical a week ago my doctor ordered a CT scan of my neck she had been watching my lymph nodes for a year.  The results came back and she has ordered additional CT scan on my chest and abdomen for today.  I have no other real information other then she orginially wanted to send me to an ENT and when she called with the results said it would not be an ENT and we would discuss next steps after the next CT scan.  I am so nervous and would like any information you may have. lorib4599 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT I checked out the websites that you listed. The Cessiac from China appears to be the same formula as ESSIAC that one can make on their own by purchasing the ingredients at a health food store that sells bulk. Essiac is highly recommended by most alternative and complementary practitioners as one effective cancer treatment to be used in conjuction with others. If you would like the recipe for homemade you could check the archives on this board or send me a private message. I have posted the recipe here several times. I personally would recommend finding a reputable naturopath, homeopath or complementary doctor, get some testing done and then they can recommend what supplements etc. are needed to get your own particular system back in balance. A strong immune system is the key. Hope this helps. ____________________________________________________________ http://www.essiacinfo.org/ http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=52 http://www.cancertutor.com/ ______________________________________________________________ On 8/2/2007 mahwish wrote:dear,i read ur mail.i really feel sorry 4 u & feel good that u have recovered.Actually my FATHER is suffering from recurrent hodgkins stage 2 after 3yrs.now doctors r advising chemo & radiation therapy.My father is feelin very sensitive & upset to face all this.i want to know that have u taken any herbal treatment with the conventional treatment?have u heard that this disease can be cured thru herbal chinese remedies.plz watch these sites & let me know that r they effective?www.lymphoma-cancer-cure.comwww.4uherb.comwww.cancerchoices.complz i'm very tensed & need some support.MAY GOD BLESS U takecare Shemay Tue, 11 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT
