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!

The Vacation Is Over

Today I landed back home and it is time to get down to business. I am running the Sacred Heart Prep camp this week, where we will have at least 40 kids in the morning session and 15-20 in the afternoon. It runs from 9-5, Monday through Friday. This week I also have plenty of fun medical junk to take care of, like: physical therapy tomorrow (Monday) at 7:00am, PET/CT scan Tuesday at 2:00pm, the wonderful chemotherapy all day Wednesday, and the Neulasta/Zometa treatment on Thursday (probably at 4:30pm). Which puts me out of running camp on Wednesday, and I will possibly be a big jerk to all the kids on Thursday (not really, but I might throw-up on them by accident).

I know that this is kind of pushing it for me to be running this camp, but I am passionate about my job, so I am just going to try to do it. I am giving myself a break though if I don't run the camp to my specifications...I will pull a cancer-card.

I know you'll kick azz at the camps and all your appointments. Save the cancer cards for tougher stuff...:)

Use "the card" if you need to, no questions asked, no answers needed...
