Hodgkins Lymphoma recovery - 5 months later 

That's great, congratulations! Thank you for the comment. Wishing you continued health and happiness!

Thank you very much! It's more grey than before haha but I'm grateful to have hair again! Happy NY

Hi there yes I had a mid way scan at 6 weeks (treatment was 12 weeks in total) and it was clear. Have you had a mid way scan? I hope everything goes well for you, you're over halfway now...keep going and keep smiling! Wishing you all the best with your future.

@@walkingthehealingpath Hi, yes I had my mid point scan at 9 weeks and it was clear so I'm in remission. I was stage 3b at the start so I'm grateful I responded well. I was just curious as to why you were treated with BEACOPP. I thought that normally in the UK most patients start with ABVD and then switch to BEACOPP if their mid point scan is still showing activity. Anyway cheers for the well wishes. It's been a shit year but the bell ring is in sight now. All the best.

@@Mike-tb9xq I hope you're doing well now, I expect you've finished all your treatment and you're now I'm recovery? I went straight for Beacopp to 'blast' it all out of the water, plus it was a shorter treatment time. I hope all is going well for you, sending you best wishes.

@@walkingthehealingpath Hello. Yea I finished in November and my post treatment scan was all clear. I have my first 3 monthly checkup next week so hopefully all will still be fine. So glad its over but something positive came out of it in that its given me a changed perspective on life. I've been living a pretty healthy lifestyle since I finished and trying to appreciate each day to the full. Hairs all grown back which I'm super relieved about (I couldn't pull off a bald head). Only thing I've been left with is neuropathy in my feet. I wake up and the front half is almost completely numb. They think it will go away or at least improve slowly over time though. I wasn't ever offered Beacopp, it was just your doing abvd and that's all there is. I've read somewhere that certain countries in Europe like Germany use beacopp as standard though. Hope you are well too. Take care.

Hi there I was already eating a healthy/varied diet and was vegetarian. During treatment I went with what my body wanted and made sure I got loads of calories but thankfully craved veg, fruit and loads of healthy carbs like rice and potatoes. I went off cheese. I'd say the more fruit and veg you can eat the better to keep your vitamin levels up and support your body's functions, including immune system and hormones. Also ate anti inflammatory foods like ginger (also helps with nausea), pineapple, mango and turmeric. Craved oranges every day (probs for vit C) and drank about 3 litres of water a day. Hope that helps! :)

Peachy Wellbeing hi thank you for your response I'm slowly changing to veganism for health. I'm currently waiting for pet scan results because they found a small thymoma so quite scary....anyway your vids have been really lovely and helpful and I'm so glad your getting better xx

@@laurengg09 Thank you so much I am wishing the best for you too, stay strong and hope you get all the support you need xx On the topic of veganism there's so many yummy recipes out there now, I'm loving all the new veggie and vegan cookbooks! I focused on cooking and eating and that helped me get through :)

Hey, I'm so sorry I missed your message and only just seen it 4 years on (I don't log into this account much). I really hope your doctor helped you get a diagnosis and that you're doing okay now?
