I just wanted to post quickly to say hi, and don't worry about crying in front of your son- you can still be strong with tears on your cheeks. I used to joke that I was my husband's soggy rock (He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at 39, and 5 years on is healthier than ever.) It's just evidence that you care. I hope your friends get in touch soon- in the meantime, I'm sending you a cyber hug. love and hugs, Emily Hi Emily Thank you very much for the reply. I am pleased and hopeful to hear your husband is now well. My son has a PET scan on Tuesday to see if the chemo is working, so a very anxious time at the moment. I am sure everything will go well. The cyber hug meant a lot. Debby

Hi Shar Just writing to see how you are going? My son who is 32 was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma Stage 4 in October so your posts brought some tears to my eyes. He has had 4 chemo treatments and going for a Pet scan in January to see how the treatment is going. He is so strong and positive. I am the weak one! I hope oped things are going well for you.

Hi everyone this is my first post. I am caring for my 32 year son who was diagnosed with HL in October. He has moved back home and I am very grateful for this. Is has not been easy coming to terms with this. I don't know if I will ever come to terms with it. My son is coping so much better than me. I feel so weak getting upset in front of him but crying sometimes gives me some sort of release. I have a cry then move on. i was wondering if there is someone out there who might have or had HL around my son's age that I can talk too? Or maybe a parent in the same situation? As I have seen in a lot of other posts you find out who your true friends are. One are my best friends has only picked up the phone once. I feel so alone. I know if more of my friends would take the time to just say hello I would be much better.
