Nervous about 1st ABVD

Less than one minute read time.

I'm putting on a brave face as my family have been through so much (my big sister had almost 2 years out with severe chrons disease and is just now back to normal at the time when I have been diagnosed with classic HL nodular sclerosing stage 3 B).

My i'm on my own this morning and I am not feeling as brave or positive.  I know my prognosis is very good but am so worried that the chemo is going to kick me around on the floor when i am already so very tired...sleeping has been a real issue since december - itchy skin, night sweats, worry.

I think i am going to sit in the garden and be thankful for the sunshine!  xoxo

    Hi Sara,

    I've been there. I started salvage chemo for nhl a year ago. I have come through it and am now returning to work.

    I felt grotty, it was difficult knowing that the cure was worse in the short term than the illness. However, it was worth it in the long run.

    Hang in there and give those lymphomas a good kicking.

    Thank you all...I hope that once I have experienced this first session it will be all gravy for the next.  So not looking forward to that long list of side effects.

    I'm at work today to cover things off as not sure how much rest I am going to need...

    I'll have a few words with myself tonight to get my game face back on!

    xoxo
