As for the delymphomization update, I'm unfortunately still neck deep in the usual effects (bone aches, stomach, fatigue, numbing, etc.). I'm seven days from the last session and expect to break out soon.
The objective of this blog is to keep my friends and family up to date on my delymphomanization.
As for the delymphomization update, I'm unfortunately still neck deep in the usual effects (bone aches, stomach, fatigue, numbing, etc.). I'm seven days from the last session and expect to break out soon.
I was diagnosed with "Stage III Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma NOS" in August 2007, at 34 years old, with an amazing wife, two kids, loving dog, and generally feeling (as I continue to so feel), as blessed as anyone on this earth.
Stage III means the cancer is in more than one place (my abdomen and clavical), but not in my bone marrow. T-Cell Lymphoma is standard cancer of the lymph node system. N.O.S. means "not otherwise specified", or not one of the standard forms of T-Cell cancer, but somewhat understood nonetheless.
I am going through CHOP chemotherapy until late November. If all goes well, then the cancer will be killed and I'll be back to normal. If there are unexpected hurdles along the way, then I'm in excellent hands with world-wide Lymphoma experts at Georgetown, Hopkins, and Sloan Kettering.

Dave,
I love your post today. While they are most certainly in for a "wild ride" while they learn to navigate new terrain, they are also discovering a love with a depth they have never known.
Congratulations to them
and keep going, Dave.

Dave,
One of the most surprising things about reading your glbog is that it is uplifting, inspiring, and helps me remember how beautiful life is. It was great to see you Sunday, you looked amazing, and I hope the colder weather feels good and rejuvenating. Keep the good vibes coming and we continue to send them your way. We send a big hug,
Seema
David, I have been inspired by your comments. I hope you don't mind that my mom shared the link with me. It has also been wonderful to see Eli in Baltimore. He is an exceptional little boy.
We have truly been thinking about you. This arduous but inevitably triumphant journey will soon just be an unpleasant but enlightening memory…get well soon!
Love, Emanda and Steven
