I felt so alone until I read your post. No one around me understands what I’m going through. I’m almost 2 years out from stem cell transplant and worry seems to be my best friend. .thanks for your story.

Hi my name is Ronda, looking for someone with some similar diagnosis. I was diagnosed in 2011 with NHL stage 4 and through treatment it changed to Folliicure Lymphoma. I was cancer free for 6 years and then found a lump under my arm. I have gone through a Stem Cell Transplant, Aug will be 2 years… always worried about it coming back.

Congratulations! When I saw the headline I thought that maybe I had written the post and forgotten, because I also turned 10 this year. (Stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukemia.)

One of the hardest things I have learned to do after my diagnosis is to say no. Now that I am in remission I am starting to say yes again, but only when I want to. I think the cancer card earns us the right to just say no.

Yolanda,
You are so right. We who have blood cancer may be immunosuppressed. I was experiencing freq colds. I now take extra vitamin C, avoid anyone who is sick and have stopped shaking hands in church during mass.
Thank you for raising awareness.

Thank you for the compliment. After my oncologist read my article, she told me a lot of her patients have the same experiences with people giving unsolicited advice. Best of luck to you!

Hi Crystal! I had a very similar experience as you. I started with ABVD but because of my lung damage, I finished off with AVD. I also experienced blood clots in my lungs because of my port. I am so sorry you are now experiencing this scare… have you heard back on any of this and has it continued? I’m really proud of you for being an advocate…

I have a notes section in my phone that I document everything I am experiencing in and relay it to my healthcare team.
