    Hi if anyone can offer any advice please comment below.

    My dad has been treated for Hodgkin's Lymphoma, last year he received I.C.E chemotherapy finished in November, he then had a pet scan in January which showed lymphoma still there, another pet scan in April which showed up the cancer was aggressive, In June he started brentuximab chemotherapy which he given 3 cycles over 9 weeks, he then had another pet scan which showed that the chemo had shrunk it to a certain degree, but treatment was stopped??? They said he could only be given 3 cycles max.
    Surly if it has shrunk it they would have continued with treatment??

    Has anyone else got a similar story which went on to getting further or different kind of treatment?
