Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I'm glad you stepped in to help Sally. The good news is, Hodgkins Lymphoma has one of the highest cure rates of all cancer, something like 96% I believe. But I'm not sure about it growing in her lungs... has it metastisized? That's not so good if it has. Either way though it's very scary and difficult. I'm a cancer survivor myself, and I will be thinking about you and your family.

Sally there are two types of hodgkins...non-hodgkins and hodgkins. One of then has a very high success rate. if you google this it will explain more but you need to make sure you have all the facts. I know it is hard not to panick but knowing for certain is always helpful.

A little boy in my sons class had (and i can't remember if it was hodgkins or non-hodgkins lymphoma) Anyway..this little guy had chemo and i am not sure if he had radiation too but he is symptom free now 2 and a half years later.

I am sorry you are dealing with this...I have only had 2 hours sleep or I would look it up fpr you but I am dizzy I am so tired.

Take care
pand
