im starting chemo in two weeks and im so scared. this video was really hard for me to watch but its nice to know these things ahead of time. thank you

Anyone who has just been diagnosed will really be able to benefit from this. 💙💪 You've found a really wonderful way to use this experience to create something helpful for others. Keep it up! Even as someone who isn't a cancer patient (at least not right now), I found this really interesting and learned about a lot of stuff I had been clueless about before. I knew what magic mouthwash was though! I mixed so many of those compounds when I was a pharmacy tech 😂 Lidocaine, diphenhydramine, antacid, and nystatin! I'll never forget the recipe haha

I’m going through this now & omg!! The water yes!!! Everything that you’re saying is so relatable & it’s so refreshing to know someone else goes thru the same experiences. Hope you’re doing well love 🤎

Thank you so much for this information! I have recently been diagnosed and will be starting ABVD in 6 days, and much like you described, I have been scouring the internet for exactly what you have said. So thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish you all the best. ❤

to go through six chemotherapy cycle is not a simple thing I too had gone through this process much same conditions that you had experienced and descried live long life be brave thanks for sharing your experience .

I have the Hodgkin Lymphoma I got my first chemotherapy ABVD Thank you for sharing your story 😥

Thanks for sharing this with us best luck 🙏🏻

This is so helpful; thank you! God bless.

Hugs n much love as always x

Oh my... what an ordeal. God bless you 🥰😻🥰

Hey! I was actually encouraged against using picc lines or ports because I’m young and have very Low fat percentage so my veines were clear. I’d say from my experience the chemo definitely hardens your veines and makes them darker. I’m currently cancer free but still have 3 more treatments to make sure I don’t relapse. I’ve only got 4-5 available veines left for IV so yea definitely did damage but in my opinion it’s a better option than living with a port or picc for 6 months. Plus veines only take a few weeks/months to recover.

I’m going though chemo ... thanks for the video I totally relate to your side effects I also had other problems with my skin intestinal problems vision sound and smell ...

I have Stage II classic Hodgkin’s. My port feels so weird, like you said! I just finished my 3rd treatment this morning. I feel my hair starting to shed more 😥 thanks for making this video!

In 1982 I was “megadosed” w/ radiation for Stage 2 Hodgkins. I was diagnosed at 18 but was 19 during most of the treatments. I’m 58 now. The radiation caused some long-term heart damage, among other things. An oncologist recently told me they don’t give that much radiation anymore bc it’s more toxic than chemo (that’s likely why you got chemo for stage 2). From what you say, chemo doesn’t sound much better than the radiation I got. ***Make sure you see a cardio-oncologist if you don’t already. You need cardiac echoes to make sure your heart is tolerating/tolerated the chemo ok. Same if you get radiation. Follow up routinely with heart doctor. I hope you’re doing ok🙏🌸

Thank you for posting this and I hope you are doing ok now. Did you feel nauseous after your first treatment? Do the side effects get worse the more you go? I am stage 4 cHL and did my first ABVD yesterday. So far no nausea, just wondering if I should expect it to hit me soon or after my next few treatments.

❤❤❤❤❤

Had u experience blurry vision?

Do they say if you don’t get the treatment if it’s stage 1b how long y will live

After 6 chemo cycles, should lymphoma, swollen lymph nodes be completely squeezed or only partially ? - NHL

I'm from India. I'm also taking abvd chemotherapy .for Hodgkin lymphoma stage 2A.can you help by giving some answer for my questions.

Any wig brand recommendations? Or false eye lash and eye brow solutions?

Those chemo drugs are very serious no joke every week it gets worse and that red chemotherapy drug it really makes me want to vomit 🤮 just by looking at it omg it makes me feel so terrible inside I feel like it’s slowly killing me
