Treatment

ABVD

As first line treatment I received 6 cycles of ABVD. As and when I get the chance/energy I will be detailing this and writing a timeline with the side effects and experiences that went with ABVD.

ESHAP

I have just finished what’s known as second line treatment or salvage chemotherapy called ESHAP and this will be followed by a stem cell transplant. I have detailed my experiences with ESHAP here.

BEAM

The next type of chemo planned for me before the stem cell transplant is called BEAM. BEAM is what’s known as intensive chemotherapy.

[Updated 11/5/2016] I have recently had another PET scan and I am now in remission! So I can progress onto BEAM followed by the actual stem cell transplant. Apparently BEAM is really harsh – it totally wipes out the immune system ready for your lovely new stem cells to populate a disease-free body!

Stem Cell Transplant

To come – will update this section very soon!
