Hello, I just seen I had been tagged in your post. Yes I was diagnosed with stage 2. I too was dreading chemo, its very easy to read all the forums and get scared. I was terrified. Well, I got through it ok in the end. Touch wood I haven't had any major after effects. I had 6 rounds (12 treatments) in the end. I am back living my life and am more than happy to answer any questions you have! Believe me, if I can do it anyone can! He will be FINE!. 

Hi there I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis and I'm glad to know you are fine now. We have been told today that he will need an initial 18 weeks on the strongest chemo they have for Lymphoma and he has his first one on 15th September.. he has been very quiet since coming out of hospital as he was admitted for 3 weeks as the cancer caused fluid in his lungs and around his heart. He doesn't like to tell me much but I can see that now it's getting closer he is getting more scared of what's to come. The doctor has said the chemo is around 93% effective and hopefully they will be able to cure him first time as long as he responds well to the treatment. We still do not know the Stage yet as still waiting for a PET scan. 

Thank you for reaching out I just feel so anxious and alone in this and the shock of the diagnosis is still sinking in. I don't want to see him be so weak and ill i just want my energetic, happy boy. He asked me today "why him" and I just didn't have an answer.
