Hi all

i was diagnosed in 2007 with HL 3b had ABVD and have been “cured” since. Had stage 1a melanoma last year and about to have my last check up. So fingers crossed

When diagnosed with HL they removed my left auxiliary lymph nodes - and subsequently have Lymphodema since. 

has anyone else experienced Lymphodema or a secondary cancer? 

thanks

  • Hi again and welcome to this corner of the community.

    Lymphedema is not something I have experienced and as yet kept clear of 'second cancers' but I have been checked out for bowel cancer that was eventually cleared from having but now we are looking at my enlarged Prostate.... and I am actually having an MRI this afternoon to see what's going on.

    The Community actually has a dedicated Lymphoedema Support Group, worth having a look at it ((hugs))
