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!

Bike and Mohawk

My mohawk was just too weak. I tried it, it just couldn't fill out, so I shaved it after I took this picture. I like being bald better...and beautiful...with my brother.

I was on a stationary bike (shown here to the left), going nowhere fast, but doing so 3 days after chemo. Call me Lance Armstrong. I lasted 15 minutes and worked up a sweat, then swam 6 laps. Me and my beautiful brother count our laps as down-and-back in our Junior Olympic size pool, which I believe is 25 yards or so in length.

Today I got a Swedish massage from some dude at this massage place. I will admit that I liked it a lot. The guy squished my stress away and probably smushed around my chemo into the little corners and cracks of my body and deep into the blobs of tissue scattered throughout.

Tomorrow morning I leave for Reno to coach my youngins in our last tournament. This tournament is the one that we are going to instead of Junior Olympics, which we had earned a bid to but could not go to because of paperwork. I think we might win it, I hope we do, because the kids are awesome.

Tomorrow is my last day of Prednizone for this round of chemo. That is the oral steriod I take for 4 days after the injections. It makes me retain water and it makes my face swell up. I hope it is also helping me build muscle.
