Diagnosis
I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma on Tuesday, April 11.
If you've gotta get cancer, Lymphoma is a pretty good one because lots of people get it and it can be cured.
Good stuff about my prognosis:
1. It is lymphoma and there is a way to cure it
2. I am in really good health
3. My blood results were very good on a couple of tests (LDS or something like that)
4. I will be treated at a great facility, Palo Alto Medical Foundation Clinic, and I have a few doctors working on my behalf that know me personally and have already helped me more than I could have imagined
5. I have good spirits (they say that is a huge factor), I've always had pretty good will power so I can at least shoot the cancer down with mind-bullets
Bad stuff about my prognosis:
1. I have a primary lymphoma in my bone, which is rare
2. The lymphoma (tumor) is in my hip, which makes it tough to walk, thus the wheelchair
