This is a place to come and check on my status and leave messages for me if you wish. At the beginning of August 2007 I received the news that I have cancer. My diagnosis is that I have Non-Hodgknins Lymphoma. To be specific it is a Diffuse Aggressive Large B Cell type Lymphoma that at this stage has been found in lymph nodes all over my body and in my spleen. When diagnosed the the disease was at Stage III (out of IV). I started my Chemotherapy on August 17th. I will receive from 6-8 chemotherapy treatments every 21 days. In mid October I will have a scan taken that will give me a good idea of my progress.
I have many wonderful and supportive family members and friends. I like the idea of a care page as a way to hear from those that care about me. Having a serious disease changes the dynamic of how we relate to each other. People do not know what to say, maybe I do not want to talk about my condition on a particular day, so please feel free to use the comments section. I hope this blog will help to overcome this awkwardness, you can stay informed and I can feel the wonderful support that has already been forthcoming from friends and family.
