Pregnant and just been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma

I'm terrified and scared, I can't sleep, I'm sick in the night through stress, my night sweats are horrid. I am awaiting staging and then treatment is to commence within the next 3 weeks. 
It will be ABVD only (double dose) once every 2 weeks for the next 6 months, and I'm 4 months pregnant, baby is due mid therapy. 
Atm I just don't know how I'm going to cope with this. I don't want this

  • Hello Mandy1991,

    I can understand this is a stressful time for you, but your doctor will take everything into consideration so that you're prepared for the next steps. If you need to speak someone our team of cancer nurses are available on the freephone 0808 800 4040. Lines open from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. It might help to write down any questions you might have ahead of your next appointment, so that you feel more informed.

    Best wishes,
