Dear Dr Girdher,
RE: Arif Khan dob 01/02/82
Diagnosis: Stage 1A mixed cellularity Hodgkin's lymphoma of the right axila diagnosed July 2007
Treatment: ABVD chemotherapy
Thank you for your letter dated 14th December 2007. Mr Khan has completed four courses of chemotherapy which comprise adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD) for his Stage 1A Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was diagnosed in August 2007 and started the treatment in September. He has tolerated the chemotherapy remarkably well apart from symptoms of palpitations and chest pain, and he was seen at that time by Dr V, Consultant Cardiologist. He is due to have a PET/CT scan following completion of this chemotherapy and he will then be referred to D P, Consultant Oncologist, for involved field radiotherapy. His only site of disease is in the right axillary area.
I am very confident that Mr Khan will be cured of his disease. I will continue to monitor his general condition on a three-monthly basis. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely
Dr A
Awwh, Yay!!
That filed with good news
I am very confident that Mr Khan will be cured of his disease.
=D
