Can a hodgkins lymphoma survivor go to his college?

@darshsingh1! Your attitude and determination to push through the treatments for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, all the while still pursuing your university degree is exemplary! You’re amazing, truly!
I hope all continues to go well so that you’re able to stop the chemo and get on with life! With that full schedule I’m sure there’s been precious little time for you to actually rest and recoup. So I’m glad to read that’s your next step…working on yourself. Recovery and survivorship!
Your hair will grow back along with your health and stamina! You can be very proud of yourself for how you’ve handled this situation. Your spirit of endurance is evident and you’ll do well as a lawyer! Good luck with the end of semester exam! ☺️

Please post an update for me, ok?

Heri lori , how you doing ? So the doctor has advised to complete the cycle that kinda made me feel bad as its a task to go through a chemo therapy session i have 5 rounds of more chemo therapy remaing plus the PET scan report has said no sign of disease anymore . So i am happy about it tooo

Hi @darshsingh1 Well, that’s really super news that your PET scan shows no sign of disease!! Congratulations! Though I know that news also follows the need to finish your chemo cycles. The continued treatment adds protection to ensure the disease doesn’t return! So maybe look at it like ‘belts and suspenders’. 😅
I had to do that with my treatment as well. Even though the tests were all clear, finishing the cycles was important to consolidate the results.
But now you’ve graduated university and you may have an easier time with the treatments than when you were being a full time student! A little more time to rest during the day? That was an incredible feat! I know I mentioned it before but your spirit of endurance is exemplary. So keep up the good work…get the treatment…then take time to heal!
Last evening I went with friends to a Cancer Survival seminar. There was speaker…a man in his 50s who is a 30+ year Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor. I thought of you! He was a university student when he was diagnosed. Managed to stay in classes throughout his treatment. He goes around the US giving lectures on survivorship. About how important it is to try and retain a normal life even though the person you were is now forever changed. There is a time of mourning for what we’ve lost, the life we had before our diagnoses. Cancer does change us…life is different but we have the ability to re-invent ourselves. It was very motivational and encouraging.
I wish you well with your next round…and may it be your last! ☺️. Please keep me updated, ok? Hugs.

heeyyyy so i have completed all my cycles on 18th i got my follow up on 25aug most prolly ik the doc will advise for a pet scan again, im just tired tbh the side effects are the worse thing but i m happy its about to be over now

Hi @darshsingh1 Thanks for the super update!! What a relief to have all your chemo out of the way! I can sympathize, some of the side effects of chemo can be really difficult to deal with month after month. But now that’s behind you and time to heal…body, mind and soul.
You’ve been quite amazing and strong throughout your journey with keeping up with your studies for your law degree. I can’t imagine how exhausting that had to be!

I expect you’re right about your doctor suggesting another PET scan at some point. Though you’ve been very good about continuing with your full treatment schedule so we’ll be very optimistic that this scan, if needed, will be another clean one! ☺️ Please keep in touch and let me know how you’re doing! Did you take time off after your final exams to rest before searching for a job?
