hodkins lymphoma stage 4

HI.

I have been diagnosed with stage 4 Hodkins lymphoma and I was meant to be starting ABVD Chemo next week. However my doctor feels that I should start on BEACOPP chemo before this and am getting admitted into hospital for a week to have a PIC line fitted and see how this goes.

Remaining positive with this news but just wondered if anyone else had been through this and could let me know what to expect?

Bit nervous about it all but am holding on to the knowledge that this is manageable/ curable.

Thanks

Ellie

Hi.
I am 37 and I didnt have any symptoms until I found a lump in my armpit. But when I think back I did have back problems which I think now could be connected. What concerns do you have i could help you if you want x

I have a small lump behind my ear which I've had for about 8 months but recently my chest on the right hand side started to hurt and also my underarms. I've gone to my doctors but he thinks nothing is wrong and my blood test told me I have an iron defiency so he's putting my symptoms down to that but it's been going on too long now.
Thanks for responding and hopefully your treatment is successful which I'm sure it will be. X

I was always wondering what did your lump feel like and was it visible because I don't know if the lump that I have recently felt in my armpit is a lump or is a piece of bone.

Thanks
