Diagnosed in September 2009 had rumors on both sides of the chest and the spleen. Thank you for any help
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Hodgkin's lymphoma is very sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It actually melts like snow when chemotherapy and radiotherapy is administered. So regular chemotherapy cycles are needed to keep it in remission phase. So I advise you to get done regular follow-ups with your oncologist. If you do so, complications will be very less. Irregular chemotherapy in Hodgkin's lymphoma can cause1. Acute lymphoblastic crisis2. Acute myeloblastic crisis. So to avoid all these, regular follow-ups are needed.
