Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Sir, My father has Hodgkin s Lymphoma and has already been given ABVD 6 cycles. Treatment started in May 2015 and 12th chemo was given in Oct 2015. After reassessment in Mar 2016 through PET-CT and a Biopsy in May 2016, it was found that hodgkin cells still exists towards left axiliary and somewhere in the neck area. Can you please suggest what should be the next mode of treatment and approximate cost for that?
Chemotherapy must be continued. A fine needle biopsy may also be required to check whether the new lesion is similar histological type or not. The chemotherapy regime may have to change if required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
