chemotherapy

Hi, 

 

Yesterday I was informed that my Hodgkin's Lymphoma was at stage four, and had attached itself to my stomach and lungs. 

And now I have to choose between BEACOPP and this less intense trial medicine. 

I also have my PICC Line placed on tuesday.

I'm terrified of chemotherapy and PICC Lines.

 

Any advice would be great please! 

Thanks,

T

    I'm sorry to hear your scared of the picc line but just think the sooner you get it done your treatment Will start .I was terrified to about a picc line but I have it through the vein but the soreness isn't nice so you will be fine with a picc line take care also chemo is tough but when you've had one you can beat the side effects by keeping your body strong drink plenty

Speak to a nurse
