This is my blog about my medical journey through Lymphoma. I was diagnosed April 11, 2006. Currently, I am in remission with a high chance of cure. It was non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, specifically Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. The tumors ended up being in my hip, my sternum and my backbone. I have left the blog up for anyone to read, and I also use it to remember all I went through. Because of all the drugs and stress, some of it is foggy, so it is fun to go back and see what I went through!

Chemo 3 of 6 Tomorrow

This last weekend I had my friend Chris in town. We go way back, so it was really nice and relaxing with him here. I feel great today. Of course, tomorrow they'll knock me down again. Today was also a good day because I was given a llama from Chile for some reason (with real llama hair, no less). That reminds me of the time I went to Chihuahua, Mexico and I bought this rooster thingy that said "Chihuahua" on it. My roommate later would throw it away without my approval because it was ugly and because it said "C ih ah a" after the letters fell off. So now I have a beautiful llama in my room courteousy of some very cool Sacred Heart Prep volleyballers.

Tomorrow is round 3 of chemo. Since it turns out that I was stage IV, I have 6 rounds. 6 should be more than enough to kill every last one of the rogue mutants. If I stay on schedule, my last round of chemo is August 2. Then I would have some radiation to do; none of those details have been revealed to me yet.
