Thanks for your question on HCM.
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 advice 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 cause
1. Acute lymphoblastic crisis
2. Acute myeloblastic crisis.
So to avoid al these, regular follow ups are needed.
I find this answer helpful
