Last week of November 97 My husband was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell NHL and he has completed 6 rounds of CHOP two weeks ago. The tumors in his lower back and arm was gone after his 4th tx, but the oncologist was not convinced about his spleen so two more treatments were required. We find out this week if he needs additional tx since he had his CT-SCAN taken last week. The nausea is the hardest thing for him to deal with, even with Kytril, Compazine, and Ativan.

04-15-83 I have low grade small cell diffuse (in 83 was called lymphocytic lymphoma).  I was in the w&w mode for 15 years. October, 1998 I began a round of Rituxan only.  My white count had begun grownig quickly and all lymph nodes had slowly bulked. Good results but not long lasting. Sept '99 began Fludurabine with Novantrone, nodes had again gotten very big. 11/99 Fludura doing a good job so far.  married 29 years, no kids, currently preschool director.

1/98 Strong family history of NHL in maternal line. At present, mom (71) just DX III-B had 2 TX of CPV. Has had many hospital admissions including today. More tests being done to try to determine if there is something else going on. Aunt Pat, (61) first DX 1988 NHL has had 2 remissions, now has progressed to Myleoplastic Syndrome (not sure of the spelling of this one), needed a BMT, mother was perfect match, but can't. Aunt Pat is no longer a candidate, been given 18 months max. Cousin Sherry (55) just completed her second BMT, home now but returning for TX every two weeks. Two others had undefined Cancers, but suspicious of NHL. Married 31 years to high school sweetheart, son 27, married with one beautiful daughter, Leah age 2 1/2, and expecting in late May. Daughter-in-law in pre-term labor this last week and in the hospital. Home now but still at high risk. We also have a daughter, 22 who has Manic-Depressive Disorder and lives in a 24 hour staffed home in a nearby town. Both of our children are adopted and I am an only child. Mother has been living with us since she left the hospital in late January, but may be going into a Nursing facility temperarily for closer observation. This distresses me greatly, but realize that it may be necessary. We have a new Shih-Tzu puppy named Muffy-Tzu. Has been a delight to our family after the lost of our beloved Missy (Applehead Siamese) last year.

April 1996 Dx'ed in April 96, with NHL, Low Grade, follicular, Stage IV, with bone marrow involvement.  In Fall of 97, did 6 rounds of CVP, Lymphoma came back in April 98.   In Fall of 98 did 6 rounds of CHOP, In winter of 99 did 5 rounds of Rituxan.   April 99, I went through a Stem Cell transplant.  Given an all clear in September of 99.  April 2000, lymphoma is back, now on a watch and wait approach for the time being.  Thinking about doing a mini BMT with a brother or sisters marrow if they match.  I'm begining to not like the month of April.  God Bless all of you. Wife (Lanie) of 14 years and two children and two dogs, the rabbit passed away from old age.

May 11, 1992 Originally diagnosed in 5/92 just a few months after completing a personal best marathon of 2:20:39 (what turned out to be my last attempt at qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials). Completed combination CHOP chemo/radiation. Experienced remission. Experienced recurrence 12/96. Extensive tumor involvement. Additional chemo has reduced tumor involvement. Currently in a "watch & wait" stage while exploring options (i.e., BMT, MAb treatment). Met my wife-to-be just weeks before diagnosed. Married Shel in October, '94. Adopted son, Lucas, in '95. Have two stepdaughters (Jennifer & Kaitlyn). Although the cancer experience has provided many challenges in our lives I feel it has also brought with it many opportunities and blessings. I have, since recurrence, developed a relationship with God for the first time in my adult life. I believe strongly in the healing powers of faith, optimism and humor!

8-28-97 I found a small lump on the left front of my neck on August 4th, 1997. An ultrasound, CT scan and biopsy later, I was diagnosed with large-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. My oncologist said it was high grade lymphoma that acts as an intermediate. She called it immunoblastic. I will have my 4th CHOP treatment this Friday, the 14th. My tumors started shrinking after the second treatment. Currently taking Compazine and Ativan for nausea. They helped at first, but not any longer. I have been married for 10 1/2 years to Kevin. I have three daughters: Chelsea 7, KD (Katie) 3, and Sydney 1. We have a pot belly pig-Nicholas, a beautiful black lab-Midnight, and when I'm done with chemo, we will have a kitty named Comfort.

  Rare Pancreatic lymphoma. Single large tumor (7.5cm) was removed at MD Anderson during "Whipple" surgery on May 12,1995. I've fought one weird complication after another since the surgery. Permanently disabled. Pre-cancer weight was 205#, now struggle to maintain 125-130#. Married for 11 years (this time). Three sons, ages 22, 38 & 40. For the past five years or so I have been a list owner for several ACOR email lists, including PANCREAS-ONC - the list for those dealing with pancreatic cancer. Although mine was an oddball kind of pancreatic cancer, most of my treatments & symptoms are identical to pancreatic cancer. I have been extremely fortunate.

3/96 I was dx 3/96.  My hairdresser originally found a knot on the back of my head.  Stage was low-grade, stage 3.  I started CHOP in 7/96 and achieved a remission.  I have blood tests every 4 months.  In March 2000 I had a ct scan which showed a swollen lymph node in my groin.  It had been a year since my previous scan. 
Update 7/2000.  It's official.  I have relapsed.  The Rituxan didn't give me the outcome I hoped for but it did keep the nodes in my lung from growing. However, at my last visit in April 2002, my oncologist said they have started to grow again, albeit slightly. He is checking into Zevalin for me. I go back to see him in July so it doesn't sound like he is in a big hurry.

Since January groin nodes grew quite substantially.  Doctor recommended radiation which I had in May and June.  Nodes were gone in 2 treatments...but I had to have 23 more.  I had quite a few side effects from the radiation which the radiologist said were NOT related to radiation.  Immediately afterwards I got what I thought were bug bites in groin area and on my left breast.  Had them biopsied and it is lymphoma.  Also after my ct scan I now have considerable lymph node involvement in my abdomen and near my kidneys.  My oncologist is taking the info to Hopkins for a consult with the lymphoma specialists.  Not sure what next treatment will be.

Max, my little 5 year old Yorkie, had to be put down after he had advanced kidney disease. I was in total shock because he was so young. I now have an 8 month old Maltese, named Luna.

May 1992 Started as low grade, follicular, small cleaved cell. Several relapses. Bone marrow wiped out by combo of past treatments and Zevalin trial.

Pancytopenia since Jan 2001 treated by frequent blood and platelet transfusions.NHL transformed to large cell in Jan 2002.Past treatments include: Chlorambucil + prednisone; Fludaribine;2-CDA (cladribine); splenectomy;CVP; Rituxan; Zevalin

Currently experimenting with creative low-dose chemo mixes my doc and I make up, since my blood counts are too low for most treatments.(Doxil, vincristine, prednisone and Rituxan) May switch from Doxil to Cytoxin in next variation. VP-16 has also been mentioned as a possibility
