Hodgkin lymphoma: How can I help my friend?

Posted by sara96 @sara96, Jan 27 10:20am

Hi everybody
my friend is a 30 years old woman with relapsed Hodgkins lymphoma. Her first period of disease occurred in 5 years ago and the relapsed was 2 years ago.
After that her cardiac ejection fraction was decreased to 40% and now is 50%. And now she is in remission phase of her lymphoma but she is very aggressive about talking to her due to her checkup, her cardiac drug,...😥
I want to know is there any special food regimens or drug to prevention of the relapse?
I don't know how can I help her for her mood. Please help me.
She is very nervous about the relapse.
Thanks

I am living an amazing life, thank you! Your brother was able to use his own cells. My form of leukemia, AML, required me to use donor cells. That was 5 years ago at the age of 65. It has given me a second chance at life and I’m not wasting a moment. ☺️
Plus, I get to be here on Connect where I can help give hope to others who have blood cancers and possibly heading to transplant. It’s been quite a ride but well worth the effort.

I am so happy to hear you are living your life to the fullest. That warms my heart. We all need to remember to do that.
