New to the site and recently diagnosed

Less than one minute read time.

Hi, I'm new to the site.I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma stage 2a almost nine weeks ago. So far I have had two lots of ABVD chemotherapy and I'm feeling OK. I've joined the site because I would like to know how other people are coping both with the experience of having cancer and with their treatment.
