Went to see the haematologist with Alex this morning and he is stage 1a nodular sclerosing Hodgkins (CT scan shows its only in his neck area). He will probably be having two cycles of ABVD followed by radiotherapy.
Have got a meeting tomorrow at the Marsden, which is luckily just down the road from us, to go through everything with the Dr / nurses and have some more blood tests. Will also have to have a PET scan and do some sperm banking! & they have to get the biopsy from St Georges so treatment will probably start in a couple of weeks.
We took Alex out for lunch to celebrate which sounds a bit weird but we are all very happy that we have caught this so early and that it could've been a lot worse.
So onwards and upwards, positive thoughts and laughter here we come - along with healthy food, exercise and fresh air (when he feels like it!) of course!
