I have been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma last January 08, I got a 5cm lymphoma at the mediastinal cavity, I'm on my third round of eight of ABVD, The first round was the worst of all 3 I made. The hair is gone right now, and I'm feeling side effects like nausea (no vomit until now), weird food taste (3-4 days after chemo), general fatigue (has been reduced on this 3rd round) and some chest pains some times, but nothing to worry about. What more side effects do I need to wait for, I mean, my skin color may change ? may I loss weight ? I'm feeling good generally 4-5 days after chemo and doing my regular life. My disease is on Stage 1A, My doctor and my exams read only 1 lymphoma and no more implicated organs, any one here knows or have been on this stage and have been cured completely ? I'm worried because I have a wonderful wife and three little kids, they all depend on me, and usually my mind gets very weird and I get some weird thinking about this disease. Any one can help ? Thanks in advance for your help, and please excuse my poor english, I'm hispanic and still learning the language.
