Suggest Alternative Treatment For Hodgkin S Lymphoma
hello, my mother is 78 years old and was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma ( diffuse large B cell ) She is receiving Rituxan 500 mg. IV and CHVIP chemo therapy. Her Doctor said that she has to take medication for at least 6 months. But she is receiving 2nd therapy and makes her very tired and dizzy. She wants to stop with chemo because of side effects. Do you know anything about alternatives ,,,also after 3rd chemo, someone told her that cancer could be gone..?
