Hi everyone, I’ve recently been diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and will start escalated BEACOPP DAC chemo shortly. I wondered if anyone had any experience of this type of chemo?

Hello MAFSfan675
I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. It's understandable that this may be an anxious time for you ahead of starting treatment.
We do have some information about BEACOPP on our website which may be of interest. I've had a look through the forum and can't find any recent posts from members who have mentioned this type of treatment but there are quite a few posts made over the last few years. If you'd like to read through some of those you can use the forum search function at the top of the page to look for "BEACOPP".
I know that Lymphoma Action has support options including a Buddy Service and it may be that you're able to connect with someone who has experience of this diagnosis and treatment through their website.
If there's anything you'd like to talk through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
I hope you're able to connect with someone who has experience with this treatment.
Best wishes,
Jenn
