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!

Burrito Test

My results of my endoscopy showed a normal and fantastic looking image of my guts. I have the pictures, it looks like a red, slimy cavern...something like the insides of that thing the Millennium Falcon landed in. They did a routine biopsy of my duodenum, which is the next little blob of guts after the stomach, and that biopsy was negative - like, in a positive way - no lymphoma or anything else. Then I had the ultrasound, and they did not find an embryo, nor did they find any gallstones or tumors or alien parasites. I heard the sound of the blood going into my liver. They also checked me for stomach diseases. And well, I had a burrito the day of the test, and let's just say I had to give them some of that burrito to look through. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you about the fun time I had getting the sample of the burrito, but I wanted to. The Burrito Test was also negative.

And now my stomach feels much better. I probably just had a virus or something that went away. I played volleyball last Tuesday and my hip has been hurting for like a week, so it looks like I still won't be playing for a while. I also was pretty bad at hitting...it is amazing how cancer, a broken hip, chemotherapy and radiation take your vertical jump away.
