As it turns out a lymphoma - Part 1
tumors are treacherous.
People often think that tumors do poorly, or do you live in another way. It 's true, you are alive and often cause pain, but this usually happens because they grow, invade surrounding tissues, giving distant metastases, which in turn grow and invade ... But earlier, when it is small, cancer often does not feel right. Yet it is precisely when a tumor is small can be better fought. To prevent this, whenever feasible, is important.
instead lymphoma, Hodgkin's at least one, sometimes makes itself felt in his own way. (There are several types of lymphoma, primarily divided into two main groups: Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The reason and significance of this division, I'll leave you to search Google ... ^___^ I have Hodgkin's disease and I talk about this. )
The NHL is a cancer that arises in a lymph node, and the lymph nodes are small organelles scattered 'throughout, very useful for our defenses immune. The NHL, therefore, usually "born" in a lymph node: then spreads to the lymph nodes closest first, then those a bit 'more distant, and finally reaching the lymphoma cells in bone marrow, which is the "factory" of all blood cells and the immune system.
symptoms with which it can 'are in fact present a Hodgkin nonspecific pruritus (everywhere, and without apparent cause), tossettina hacking, or fever or low-grade fever, weight loss, night sweats profusely. Then
lymphoma MAY 'be heard because, growing up, going to compress other organs, a vein, perhaps, or intestines. Or is it a place where if it grows quickly see the "bump": the sides of the neck, in armpits, the folds of the groin ... In this case, the person realizes it and goes to the doctor immediately, who will make the appropriate examinations.
course, if has an itch not think of the lymphoma, as well Nanni Moretti said in one of his films, and hundreds of cases may have fever, night sweats and when a general is to blame the heat, heavy duvet , when heated too high ...
However, Hodgkin CAN 'also not to be heard at all ... and be discovered almost by chance, maybe doing an ultrasound or a chest X-ray.
But if you have many of the disorders described above, maybe we should do some tests ... just to be safe!
... and I as I found to have Hodgkin's disease? If you are interested in knowing you have to read part 2!

Congratulations Card, Sample
me introduce myself ...
It 's my first blog, and I do not know how to do a blog.
But I think it's polite to introduce myself and explain why I started to do a blog.
am Claudia, I am 34 years old, a physician anesthetist. And I have Hodgkin's disease.
The idea of \u200b\u200ba blog to tell my experience, and especially what I had learned to live in, so maybe that would be useful for others who live in my own experience, I had learned months ago. But then the time is not ... I was back at work, I was busy schedule ... and so I have not done anything, and the page set is already vacant.
Now here I am again, in the hospital for my second chemo "consolidation" in the journey that will take me all'autotrapianto ... hoping to eliminate this repeated once and for all.
This time the weather is, I have no excuses.
He is also a way for me to take stock of the situation. And not to forget.
So, here goes. This is my story. Or at least, a little piece of my story ...
Because life, mine and all goes well Apart from a lymphoma, a problem, a difficulty. Indeed, maybe life is just everything else is so worth living that helps to sustain the difficulties, care, problems and suffering.
But here tell only a piece of my history, my life. The rest, who knows ...

I Found A Lump In My Anus
Home
"House" is not a place, but people.
And as when (it's raining outside) you walk away from your home parenthood, you realize that you miss because you're gone in as before. The shirts do not stretch more miraculously by themselves.
The dishes are not lined up dutifully to the dishwasher as it once was.
the center of each room, opens a portal to the elemental planes of Dust.
Now you manage, dick.
It's not clear why this should give you a sense of freedom ...? Independence?
What is it, it must feel more adult, mature, wash the socks?
I thought growing up meant having responsibilities (series mean), and a more developed sense than the seat of a bicycle.
Yet, I understand that is not a big deal, but necessary. To overcome fears, to test themselves, perhaps, but for something dimostrasi. Whether willingly or not, we all know that having a mom and a dad, as well as a blow to ass (at least in my case) is also a convenience mica laugh.
So, I know that my four walls I did not miss much as the smile of my grandmother, my mother for something that breaks the bales, like my father who needs nonsisacosa. My bed will not be uncomfortable, but there will be Bongo in the morning and licks my face to wake up (without ringing, Callaghan).
And it's not the best year for work, for people I've lost, and for many other things. Therefore, it is necessarily the right year, that if you can now coglionazzo, even someone like you can say that half way.
So, I do. There, I said. I can not draw back.
But, Mom, tomorrow morning you wake me, I did not want to point the phone.
At 7 and a half, thanks.
