Leukemia and Lymphoma Society


I just got an answer to a question I sent the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society inre to the difference stats on recurrence for someone treated with ABVD only and those with a combination of ABVD and radiation. I got a quick response with the following:

"The type of treatment that a patient receives also has an influence: for example, 13% of patients with a favorable presentation who are treated with ABVD alone will relapse, versus 6% of those who receive ABVD and radiation."

They also provided a wonderful link to a Q & A done with Dr. G in Toronto. She is the Medical Director of the cancer program at Prince Margaret Hospital in Toronto.

While this at first would seem to favor dual treatment, the link goes on to mention that their control rate for the study was lower and the negative side affects of radiation inre to secondary cancers (specifically radiation outside of a small area).

So any confusion I had on whether "I" would prefer the dual treatment (possibly short chemo with low dose radiation afterwards) or just chemo, has been cleared up a bit. I prefer solo chemo jones, which is what I am getting. For anyone out there with Hodge and didn't know, the LLS has great resources. From information to questions to ask your Dr., to Co-pay Assistance.
