Don't worry. In time your appetite will come back, but remember, you are still recovering. I never experienced radiation. Keep smoking, it'll make you feel better, and eat.

I had hodgekins lymphoma too!!!!!! Ive been in remission though for 3 years. And I had both chemo and radiation. I smoked pot to get hungry and to take away the pains. It worked for me. And don't worry hun. It WILL go away after your done with everything!

yea its been like two weeks since radation was done
chemo was horrible compared to radation...noone should ever have to go through it
everythings done now and slowly i feel things going back to normal so im happy about that
and i just got the scan after radation and everything is clean so i can finnaly get that port removed


i was just worried because now im really noticing that im losing alot of weight...im not really upset about that but i was afraid it would cause some kinda other illness

and yea rebgirl i read somewere else that you had it and i was like omg me to
haha

hope all goes well for you, and for everyone with any kinda sickness

i also had chemo and radiation...for cervical cancer....

i really think everyone experiences different things from treatment, and their bodies rebuild very differently...for me, it was about 4 months before i got "back to normal"...i know others that have never gotten back to normal....

i hope things get better for you...

Yeah I lost 40 pounds even when they gave me steroids! Yeah I still have my port scar AND my port in a little baggy! They had to give my port above my left boob because they couldnt put it anywhere else b/c I had too much breast tissue sooo now I have this ugly pink scar haha. Oh well. Im glad I got it, it made me who I am today. Did your hair fall out? Mine did and the make-a-wish bought me a great wig. My hairs fine though now, as you see in my avator. Make-a-wish did all sorts of cool shit for me haha

yea in the past week and a half iv lost 10 pounds but i was still eating normaly all through chemo..i thaught it should be th other way around

haha yea i have the pink scar and even after they remove it its still gonna be there..oh well haha

yea my hair did fall out...that was the worst part of everything b/c i had really straight long hair and i loved it and it like completed me lol
it already started growing back like a month ago so thats all good right now

hahaha yeah its so cool to know someone else who's had it. But yeah make-a-wish sent me to New York, gave me a limo, put me in the pent house sweet at the Hilton, THEN I got to meet Colin Quinn (I have a huge crush on him) on his old show Tough Crowd. He hit on me too haha. Then we sat around the set and hung out, with Jim Norton too. Then Comedy Central gave me a HUGE bag of stuff from their shows like south park stuff and autographs and Jon Stewart stuff. THEN he invited me as his date to Last Comic Standing and it was bad ass. AND on top of THAT I got a shopping spree. It was awsome! PLUS we still talk today through email. It was amazing!

haha i wish i was somewhat smart and didnt react like "uhh..i dunno...i guess like uhh...SHOPPING SPREE!!"

i got a ps3, 9 games, ALOT of cds, new phone, mini fridge haha(i hate going downstairs to get a drink with a pasion) an ipod dock station thing, new really nice digital camera aand some other things
everything in total was like over $3500 worth of stuff

but yeah it was extermley fun i got a limo to and after we got all the stuff we ate at this chinese food place and they cooked in front of us..it was really cool and tasted really REALLY good


just wondering how were you diagnosed?

[rebgirl420]

I was in lockup and I had a small bump on my neck so I get it biopsied. Well it ended up being a HUGE tumor that went through the middle of my body down to my belly button. I was a stage 3.
