Dr. Hanson explains that diagnoses for Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma begin with a lymph node biopsy procedure performed by a surgeon and passed on to a pathologist. After diagnosis, the clinical stage is determined and treatment can begin through chemotherapy and/or radiation.

David S. Hanson, MD, FACP: When I have the opportunity to talk to a patient about their diagnosis with Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, we generally talk about the process that leads to the correct diagnosis, how that is accomplished with the assistance of other doctors and how a treatment plan is formulated.

For example, many patients who have these diseases present with a swelling gland or lymph node. To correctly diagnose the patient, the patient must undergo a lymph node biopsy procedure, which is generally performed by a surgeon. Once that tissue is obtained, it is submitted to the pathologist who can study that tissue, make the appropriate test, and render an accurate diagnosis. It is very important that we know the exact type of Hodgkin's disease or nonHodgkin's lymphoma so that we can correctly formulate a treatment plan.

Once we have a diagnosis, the patient will generally be asked to undergo a series of tests, generally including blood work and scans and oftentimes an additional invasive test called a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. The reason that we perform all these tests is to determine the accurate clinical stage of the patient.

Clinical stage is vitally important to formulating a treatment plan and will help to determine whether or not additional specialists beyond the medical oncologist are required to assist in the care of the patient.

Once the exact diagnosis is made and the proper clinical stage established, the patient will have a conference visit with the managing physician to determine the appropriate treatment plan for their disease. This will generally include chemotherapy but also may require the assistance of a radiation oncology doctor to assist in curative treatment plan as most of these diseases can be cured.

There are a small number of these diseases that cannot be cured but can be very favorably treated with proper care so it is important that the patient have that opportunity to learn and understand about their disease process so that the proper treatment plan can be undertaken.

Many times patients are very apprehensive about taking chemotherapy and that is because there is a lot of fear and skepticism about those sorts of treatments. It is very important to understand in patients who have Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that this chemotherapy treatment can very oftentimes result in complete resolution of symptoms and sometimes cure.

Chemotherapy is generally a medication that is either administered by the vein, intravenous or orally by the mouth. It is always important that the patient understand the exact nature of the chemotherapy medications that are to be prescribed, the side effects to expect and how to manage them. It is also very important when patients have Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that they receive their treatment at full dose and on schedule so that the proper result can be obtained.

For patients who are going to also be treated with radiation, they will meet with their radiation cancer doctor to determine the timing, dose and schedule of that radiation and how it will be added to the chemotherapy. The one thing it is always important for patients to remember is that their team of Doctors is looking for them to have the best possible outcome.

Ninja Nerds!
In this lecture Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (also known as NHL, or sometimes just lymphoma) is a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body’s immune system.

NHL is a term that's used for many different types of lymphoma that all share some of the same characteristics. There is another main type of lymphoma, called Hodgkin lymphoma, which has been discussed in our Hodgkin's Lymphoma lecture: https://youtu.be/S9qmND7SeXQ

NHL usually starts in lymph nodes or other lymph tissue, but it can sometimes affect the skin. We hope you enjoy this lecture and be sure to support us below!

Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor Story | Getting Diagnosed
Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor Story | Getting Diagnosed administrator 0 مناظر • پہلے 2 سال

CC Webster is a Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor. This is her story.

She was 29 when she was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin lymphoma, after a misdiagnosis of mono. She says she had to push for real answers after realizing something wasn’t right with her body.

Here she is sharing her memories of getting diagnosed, pushing for an appointment, and learning how to ask for help.

You can find her entire story at The Patient Story:

Background:

The Patient Story turns in-depth interviews from recent cancer survivors into a FAQ format-story along with timelines to give newly diagnosed patients and caregivers a sense of what their lives may look like in the upcoming months. Hear straight from the people who've already been through it.

TPS (formerly OneDavid) was started by Stephanie Chuang, a non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivor, who wants cancer patients and caregivers to get the information they need in a human way, not with medical jargon. Visit www.ThePatientStory.com for more.

If you would like to share a story, give feedback, or just say hello, we'd also love to hear from you! Please write us at support@thepatientstory.com.

A message from our founder:

My name is Stephanie.

In 2013, I found a story that touched my heart: a group of friends were fighting to raise awareness about bone marrow donations for a young woman who'd been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It had spread to her brain.

Nina was in dire need of a bone marrow transplant. She's of Asian descent, which narrowed her odds of finding a match (fewer people of the same race and ethnicity registered to donate).

The good news: she found a donor! The wife and mother of two is living happily. I couldn't be happier.
The "odd" news: I was diagnosed with the same cancer, same sub-type just three years later.

That motivated me to create The Patient Story: a company to help cancer patients and caregivers by giving them real answers from real people - people who've actually been through the experience.
