My husband has just gone into hospital for a high dose chemo followed by stern call replacement treatment and for the first time since he was diagnosed in May, I am not sure what to do.  I find it very hard to sit back and see him in pain and discomfort and have come home every night from the hospital in tears.   I have been able to work through feeling crap up to now - but he is away for 3.5 weeks now and I hate the feeling that I cannot help him when he is not well.    I know that this is just temporary but I have been reading the site tonight and crying and just getting up the courage to find the words to express myself.  

If anyone can help or has any experience of high dose chemo followed by stem cell therapy it would be great to hear from you,

My name is Fiona and my husband Paul has just been diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma in his throat.  He has just come out of hospital after starting DAP chemotherapy and had a hickman line inserted.  I would love to hear from anyone with experience of DAP chemo and chat to anyone in a similar situation to myself.   Paul was first diagnosed and treated 10 years ago, so this time I am a bit wiser and aware of what to expect.    

Look forward to hearing from you all.
