Hello everyone!
I am a new subscriber and am wondering if anyone has been through a autologous stem cell transplant for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma? I was originally dx in December 1997 and received 6 CHOP and 20 rx treatments. It was thought to be in remission after that. In early August I had a follow up CT scan and it showed lymph node activity in my abdomen. (originally in chest) I have now had 1 DHAP chemo and will receive 2nd one in next couple of weeks. After that I will have a transplant. The part I am most scared of is the chemo and radiation to kill my immune system. I did not have any nausea problems during 1st round of chemo and this 2nd stuff knocked me down for about a week but never actually got sick (thank God for Kytrel and Zofran). Just looking for some feedback from someone who has experienced this. The onc assures me that I will do fine because I am young (33) and in good health (except for cancer).
