Relapse worry?
I’m pretty sure I relapsed and I’m over it :(
I was diagnosed with StageIVB Classical Hodgkin’s Lymphoma April 2024. I had huge lumps in my neck along with night sweats, losing weight, and fatigue. After a lot of gaslighting by different doctors, I found City of Hope. I did 6 months of chemo with City of Hope which including 12 rounds of ABVD (second treatment AAVD due to heart issues) as well as immunotherapy every other treatment. I went into remission December 2024 and my last pet scan was 99% clear as of March 2025. Fast forward to Mother’s Day weekend this year 5/10/2026, I woke up not feeling great. My throat was sore and I was extremely tired. I’m a server so I thought nothing of it. Went to work because it was my Friday and I was having that Monday and Tuesday off. Woke up Monday still a little under but I brushed it off. I had a checkup with my oncologist and he said everything was fine but I kept asking are you sure?? He said yes. Tuesday I was unwell. Extremely tired even though I had slept over 12 hours. Appetite diminished. Started having night sweats and really sudden, painful aches in my back, chest, hips, stomach, and neck. Called out of work two more days, went into work Friday and I felt like I was going to faint at every table so management sent me home. Did bloodwork, my RBC are high but everything else is fine. I demanded a pet scan as that’s the only way to tell but I’m falling back into depression. If or when any of you relapsed, does this sound familiar? I have my scan set for next Thursday. I just want to know I’m not crazy and it’s not all in my head—but something feels wrong.
