Hi Kristenm Thanks so much for your reply. That has made me feel a lot better. The pain has calmed right down since I tried a heated pillow and some gentle massage. I will follow your advice if it doesnβt settle down. Thanks again. Melissa π€

I finished my final chemo over 3 weeks ago. Feeling great however the last week have experienced swollen lymph nodes in my arm pits. I had H. Lymphoma stage 2 near my heart but never felt this pain during cancer. Has anyone else experienced swollen lymph nodes post cancer treatment? I am due for my scan in 2 weeks - but would be good to get some feedback before then from other cancer survivors.

Hi Felicity Great advice and support - thank you! π€ I am in Australia and took myself for a gentle walk in nature today - a place where I was an active hiker pre cancer. It was wonderful to reconnect to something I loved doing and felt well enough to go back - even at a very slow and gentle pace! It calmed my thoughts. I have noted the contact number. ππ

Hi, I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma 4 months ago and have just completed 4 cycles of the escalated chemo program. Due to where the tumour is/was located, radiation wasnβt an option. I found the side effects of the escalated chemo debilitating on so many levels. No scans were taken during this time and I am now waiting for my PET scan - 4 weeks post final treatment to see if it was all worth it and if the cancer has gone. Itβs always on my mind and although I am trying to live for the present, I feel like I am in in limbo and life is on hold. Has anyone else felt similar at this stage in their journey?
