<p>My partner has got cancer, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma to be exact. It started off as Hodgkins Lymphoma til we went to UCL in London to be told it had been mis-diagnosed. We've not been together long, but I knew about his cancer before we started dating. He had just finished his course of ABVD, he then had to have ESHAP because although the ABVD had shrunk it, it had grown with a vengeance after three months. We then found that throughout the ESHAP the cancer had grown and spread, he then had to have a course of Mini Beam R ( R-retuximab), but after this course we went back to London to be told that the treatment had only shrunk in a few places, grown in others, and stayed the same on others, so he is now going through Mini Leam R (R-retuximab) to see if it does anything. He has become very aggressive towards me, and has mood swings, he has days where he doesn't want to talk to me, and lately he doesn't want to be anywhere near me. I've been told that these are possibly side effects of the chemotherapy, so I was wondering if there was anyone on here that could help me out?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=435547&AppID=32017&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
