My son was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkins lymphoma in 1997. He completed ABVD and radiation treatments in 97, Stem cell transplant in 06, more chemo in 07, and radiation in 08, 09 and 2010. He is in remission again for 4 months. I believe my son is still alive and fighting after 14 years because he used some alternative herbs/drups in conjunction with standard chemo therapies for late state salvage therapy. It seemed the author was writing about our experience with Hodgkin s and the treatment dilemmas for salvage treatments. She certainly had all the facts.

Our experience also told us that the Oncologists and other supportive disciplines do not have the experience or resources to rely upon for guidelines for these type of patients. In our case our Oncologist supports the treatment decisions we make in this unknown territory. J.Dungan
