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!

Smell

The chemotherapy messed up my nose. My shower water smells like popcorn for some reason. Also, one of my players took off their shoes today and I almost gagged from the smell. I don't think the fumes were as toxic to others that only are blessed with normal human smell.

I coached today in Sacramento, then drove to Saratoga for a wedding. I am tired at the end of a long day, but my team played great and the wedding reception was cool and now I am back at my house ready to go to sleep so I can wake up at 5:30 to drive out to Sac again.

Next week Heath and Scott come out. I have a first-meeting with a great lymphoma doctor on Monday to go over a treatment plan and to talk about the MRI and all that. I have a meeting with the good orthopedic surgeon (Dr. King) Tuesday, where he will check on physical therapy I can be doing for my right leg. Wednesday I have my normal chemo scheduled. Sometime next week should be my lp, but I think I'll know all about that Monday.
