Hi everyone. I just wanted to hear some real life stories from people who had a similar treatment plan to mine.
I have Stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma with a mediastinal mass measuring 7 cm. My treatment has been:
• 2 cycles of escalated BEACOPP
• followed by 2 cycles of ABVD
• then a PET scan at the end
My team said that if my end of treatment PET scan comes back with a Deauville score of 1, 2, or 3, I may not need radiotherapy.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who went through a similar treatment plan, especially:
• whether you avoided radiation after a good PET scan
• how your PET results turned out
• how long you have stayed in remission or if you were cured
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
