In 1985 at the age of 18 I was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin’s disease. Had a tumer off lymph node by my heart. I had 3 months of ABVD then switched doctors then had 6 months of MOPP. Then 6 weeks of radiation. Then in 2010 age 43 had a heart attack. Stent in right coronary artery. Then 3 months later. I was diagnosed with DCIS. Had to have bilateral mastectomy. 2022. Basel cell carcinoma on my chest. Now I was just diagnosed with stage 0 vulvar cancer. Pre cancer cells

I'm so sorry for everything you have been through. I had kidney cancer in 2006. I am currently in week 4 of 4 of radiation for stage 2b HL. With other health issues in between. But my goodness, our bodies are such a roller coaster ride. All the best.

All that poison is what kept the cancer coming back. Chemo is known to cause cancer. Not sure why people choose to poison their bodies as if their bodies are deficient in drugs. Chemo is nothing but poison and causes lots of issues down the road.

I got treatment back in the dark ages of chemo. MOPP was a brutal treatment but at least it was effective. I’m glad it’s getting easier.

You are a doctor. As such you know Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care about your age, or your general statistics- anyone can develop cancer.
