It's Hodgkin's Lymphoma - stage 3b. My darling husband who has been amazing throughout all the prodding and poking, the blood tests, multiple scans and 3 separate biopsies; he now faces his first Chemotherapy treatment. A clinical trial!</p>
<p>He's felt ill since Monday (more than normal) following the PET CT scan. I was so worried about him yesterday. Scary times! Today he definitely felt better but he is still experiencing cancer fatigue and other Hodgkin's related symptoms.</p>
<p>Please don't mistake this as a sob story...far from it! I am married to such a positive man and his strength and continued positivity throughout is amazing!</p>
<p>This hasn't been an easy journey...we've been married for 8 months and this journey started just after 5 months. Still, if we can get through the worst challenges at the start of our married life, the rest will be plain sailing! ;o)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=434949&AppID=31980&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberOur Journey: Introhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/our_journey1/posts/our-journey-intro2011-06-26T03:23:55Z2011-06-26T03:23:55Z<p>I have created this blog to track our journey. My husband has just been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. We were advised on Monday that he is stage 3B based on scans taken and we await the results of the bone marrow biopsy.</p>
<p>I wanted to track our journey. I wasn't aware of the Macmillan online community when my Mum and Dad lost their battles with cancer, and this site has been so helpful to me and my husband in the last couple of months that I wanted to try to capture our journey in the hopes that this will help to support and inspire other people.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=434260&AppID=31980&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
