Meet Roxanne: Hodgkin's Lymphoma

[sabih93]

Well, I have hodgkins too! Second cycle of four chemo's ends tomorrow, and to be quite honest, this isn't so bad! Sure, you lose hair (big woop), but, quite honestly this is a nice little acquired break from college, which I don't feel too bad about due to the legitimate reasoning. I just can't wait to hit the gym again, plan on going harder than ever which is quite exciting!

[VegitoVai90]

Well, you may have been bald, but you beat the shit out of cancer. Not many people can say that, and I'm sure your hair's back by now anyway!

How could you put something that's equivalent to drain cleaner in a human life and slowly kill the body. Chemo is murder all in the name of the almighty dollar. One of the biggest scams of our time. Cancer does not kill you it come and goes in the body throughout our life time. You can have a tumor today and 2 months later its disappears. Once you take the chemo it mutates thousand of new cancers that come back to kill you with a vengeance. Most tumors are not cancer they are false positive.

@Frank289100 really cancer doesnt kill you? how come my friends mum was told just a week ago at 10am last saturday she had cancer, a week to live, then died at 2pm, 4 hours later?

[Frank289100]

@shaynaokane Because cancer is present means nothing it just a symptom of a overall weak body that has been breaking down for years. Its strange she died 4 hours after her diagnosis. Don't you realize that the diagnosis terrified the poor women to death. That's how she died most likely had a heart attack.. What you should do is go for a thorough check up and most likely they will find cancer and then take chemo and reply back to me and let me know how you feel. Its the chemo that kills you.

[shaynaokane]

@Frank289100 No she didnt have a heart attack, im not going to sit here and argue with you when i know that the point your trying to make is a load of crap, i know chemo can make people feel like shit because i have seen it before but it doesnt kill you, cancer obviously kills, not everyone with cancer gets chemo and they still die and it helps some people too, if you get cancer and chose not to get chemo then dont expect to live but if i ever do and chemo is my only option then chemo it will be

[Frank289100]

@shaynaokane . Just last week a friend of mine died and a month before that when they diagnosed him I gave him a A-Z lecture how most tumors are not cancer but they interpret them as cancer and how chemo is a scam. Its the chemo that kills you and then they blame the cancer. Cancer is a natural occurring process of the human body we all have it. These criminals made a business out of murdering people like they did to my friend who didn't listen to me. The chemo killed him quick.a few weeks.

I just started the second cycle of chemo for hodgkin's Lymphoma. When did everyone start losing their hair if you dont mind me asking?

[Riana718]
