Cancer is a crappy thing to have happen to anyone. My wife's was found last year when doing a biopsy after her hysterectomy. We're both nervous as her 1 year checkup is coming up in a few weeks.

I hope all went well. I have been there but wow. You seem to have had it very rough. I had prednisone but for only like 7 days while waiting for my chemo to start (because I could hardly breathe). I never had one night sweat. I just felt like I was suffocating every single day. I couldn't move or lie flat. Of course I was pregnant too which didn't help. Anyway, I hope this is a thing of the past for you really soon!!! Oh and I still have chemo brain I swear. It's either that, or I am just making excuses for myself. haha I’m praying!

I am glad to have found your blog. I am just reading some of your posts now. I will be browsing your board. I am in remission from Hodgkin's Lymphoma as of February 2008. I was diagnosed in May 2008, 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant. I started chemo at 10 weeks pregnant and had it every 2 weeks until about 3 weeks before I delivered. You can read my story on my blog. It's always comforting to me, to talk to someone who has been there. You mentioned you had MOPP treatment? I had ABVD. Anyway I'm off to read more! Hi!

Luckily for me I lived in NY when I was diagnosed with the Hodge, NY has one of the most progressive health insurance programs in the country. Make too much for medicaid, no problem you may qualify for Family Health Plus, which will either cost you nothing, or up to a certain dollar a month (but not more than $100), or of you make too much for that there is a program called Healthy NY which costs $189 a month. I had no insurance and made too much for medicaid but I qualified for Family Health Plus and they covered pre-existing conditions, everyone should write to their state reps and ask them to look into NY's health insurance programs. I was really worried, but the people at DSS said not to worry, no matter what they weren't going to just let me die, and they didn't. I know that people in other states do not have these options available to them when diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses, that's why you need to write write write..and let your state reprs and governors know that your state should have such a program. HUGS and hnag in there!!

I would bet you sprained it pretty bad, that's why you can't put any weight on it. Keep it elevated, and iced.
