This page contains some resources for Hodgkin's Disease (Hodgkin Lymphoma). The first list are resources I have written myself on Hodgkin's. The second are from other good, reliable websites.
My Hodgkin's Resources
My Hodgkin's Story. My strange story of how I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease. Or the shorter version: Reflections on Being a Five-Year Cancer Survivor.
What I Wish I Knew About Hodgkin's. A four part, slightly tongue-in-cheek introduction to what to expect after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's that I wrote about two months after I finished ABVD chemotherapy in 2007. Read through this section for a description of how ABVD is given and for a few tips and tricks I picked up along the way. Based on personal experience, not intended as medical advice.
General Tips and Advice for Running Through Chemo. Some general advice and information about running through chemo. Based on personal experience, not intended as medical advice.
Ports. Explains what a port is, with photos of my port. When I was diagnosed, I wanted to see what a port looked like and I couldn't really find any good actual pictures. Hence this post.
My Hodgkin's Journal. Written in the moment, the 2007 journal I kept on my blog while undergoing ABVD for eight months.
