I didn t have it personally, but one of the people I work with got it. Showed up as swollen glands in his neck. After treatments, he recovered fully and completely. Suppose to be a very treatable form of cancer.
So welcome back and good luck. Time spent resting and recovering now can mean years later.

jpreiserDitto! Welcome back and we ll keep you in our prayers!
jpreiserI hope you will recover soon and have a nice camping season.
jpreiserWelcome back.
Isn t hodgkins the one that the Montreal hockey player had?
jpreiserMario Lemiuex, (Pittsburgh Penguins) had Hodgkins, and he has fully recovered..

jpreiserJanet,
I helped a friend through his journey with NON hodgkins. As I recall, your cancer is very treatable. Watching Biography Sunday night, did you know that Tracy Nelson (Ricky Nelson s daughter) also had Hodgkins? She has fully recovered and has 2 babies now!
I hope you have a terrific support network at home; obviously you have one here! Positive thoughts and prayers go your way for a speedy recovery.
jpreiserMy wife went thru the big guns chemo and radiation for it. She just went past her 10 year checkup. She was really sick. It took a long time to recover. The first year we went on vacation to Myrtle beach and stayed in a motel. We had thought she was better but she was still very very weak. She was only 32 at the time. Had 3 babies 4,2 and newborn. It really changed her outlook. You need to build yourself back up for a while and give yourself some time. Camping might not be the best thing to do right away. You might want to wait a season. You are in the worst of it now it gets better.
Good Luck,
John
jpreiserThanks for the prayers, I cannot wait until all my treatments are over!!
jpreiserWEll I had my last chemo treatment yesterday, I am glad that is over with. Now I have to wait 2 weeks for cat scan then start radiation. I think we might do some drive way camping this summer! WE have a chimanea for the marshmellows!
jpreiserSounds like you had the lighter side of chemo. My son went through 3 1/2 years of chemo plus cranial radiation at age 4 for leukemia. He s here with us today, and that s all that matters.[:)]
It s amazing the miracles of modern medicine and the power of prayer.
Good luck on your upcoming radiation treatments.
jpreiserHope all continues to go well for you, Janet.
