How is the program at Stanford, would you
recommend this over any other Cancer Center in the Greater
SD and LA areas? In the US? Was this a clinical
trial?<br><br>Any other recommend clinical trials or treatment
therapy in the US or Canada that anyone can
recommend?<br><br>I have been diagnosed with HD and currently in the
process of being staged. I should now this COB on
Thursday by a local Oncologist in SD (which has is
exceptional so far). Current testing includes:<br>- CAT (came
back Normal)<br>- Blood (check for HIV - all results
negative)<br>- Bone Marrow <br>- Bronchopsy (lung biopsy - I was
coughing blood)<br>- PET Scan (tomorrow - Posontronic
Emission Tectrophy SP)<br><br>I will be getting a second
opinion from a Oncologist who specialized in Hogdkin's at
Cedars-Siani in LA for other Clinical Trials or
treatments.<br><br>If I am stage 1 it looks like radiation therapy
only, stage 2 and above will be a combination of Chemo
and Radiation?<br><br>Any suggestions from other HD
cancer patients under therapy would be great. My main
concern is this is a pretty curable disease but the
treatments to cure HD cause other adverse effects, harm or
other unknowns? Is anyone else concerned about their
current therapy?<br><br>All comments welcome... Thanks
and GOD Bless.<br><br>p.s. Any recommended diets
during the treatments or for the rest of your LIFE!!!
