About the Blog
If you’re reading this, you’re interested in learning more about Hodgkin’s Disease (Hodgkin lymphoma). This blog exists to provide information on what you can expect to EXPERIENCE with Hodgkin’s Disease, especially with ABVD chemotherapy. It is not a substitute for medical advice.
Your webmaster was diagnosed with bulky, advanced stage HD (stage III/IV-A) in February 2007 at the age of 26. After finishing 8 cycles worth of ABVD, she has currently been in remission for two years.
This blog provides you with mainly an introduction to what you can expect from ABVD chemotherapy. You can learn lots about what chemotherapy actually is and how it is supposed to work from your oncologist and nurses, but the only place you can learn what it’s REALLY like to experience things like cancer, chemo, etc. is from someone who has actually been through it themselves. That’s why I’ve decided to leave these pages here — as a reference that may help someone in the future.
With that here are the articles on this site:
