Dearest Cancer Sufferers,

My name is Andy, 47 years old and worked long hours all my life. I really want to talk to someone else who has survived the prognosis in the subject. 

I have had the best treatment from the NHS and amazing support from Macmillan too. 

My treatment was in 3 week cycles. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday first week, Tuesday in week 2 then 5 day's of injections at home, then a week off.

The PET scan after cycle 2 is shown to be in complete remission and I have one more cycle finishing on April 11th. Wahoo!

I have recently joined a cancer group at the Big C to discuss how things move forward from here but really want to find out more. 

Would really appreciate and want to connect with someone else who has had a similar situation who can guide me through what happens next.

Love to anyone who reads this message.

All my love

Andy

    Hi Andy and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    As the online community is divided up into different support groups, I'm going to recommend that you join the Hodgkin lymphoma group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from people with the same type of cancer.

    To join just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
