Have you ever felt dismissed or belittled by a healthcare provider? You describe your symptoms, but the response is indifferent, dismissive, or skeptical, leaving you questioning your own experiences.

A book review and personal thoughts from a fellow Hodgkin's survivor, Maria Sarath Ragucci.

Whenever I meet another long-term Hodgkin lymphoma survivor, sooner or later the conversation turns to therapies we have tried in order to improve various conditions plaguing us as a result of late effects.

Hodgkin’s International–and our online Facebook support groups–has a wealth of  information about late effects from treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma. However, managing your anxiety, while learning about late effects can be a challenge.

If you’re a Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor, it's likely that you remember every detail of your medical journey. Whether it's the surgeries, chemotherapy, infusions, or hospital stays, these experiences are often ingrained in your memory. However, as time goes on, these memories may become distorted or fade into the background of your everyday life.
