Hodgkins Lymphoma and Multiple Sclerosis

destinytb · 03-19-2001, 09:24 PM

I was diagnosed with MS back in 1996 and now recently diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma (stage IIB)and had to start chemo. Is there anyone out there that has had both of these to contend with? I'm worried that the Chemo may create more nerve damage than I already have but I am ready to accept the damage to stay alive.

I may be looking for a needle in hey stack but I'm not gonna stop looking or giving up on this world.

Hi, my name is Dee and I also have been diagnosed with MS since 1996 and now am being tested for Hodgkins Lymphoma. I gotten my biopsy done on Monday, July 12th and they said they would have the results back by wed. So weird if I too would have that. I had a supraclavicular node taken out for the biopsy. Good luck to you and will keep you up to date when I find out.

So this is weird, because I was just doing research on the link between the two. A cousin of mine has Hodgkins and my mother had Non-Hodgkins. There are many ongoing studies regarding the links between the two diseases. May I ask what symptoms you have that brought you to the doctor? Also, is there a history of diabetes in your family? I'm so sorry to hear of this diagnosis for you. MS is more than enough to contend with.
