The objective of this blog is to keep my friends and family up to date on my delymphomanization.
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's delymphomanization complete. Glad to see the words "feeling good" strung together in your post even though I think "as possible" are probably the operative words today. All uphill here from here. Thinking about y'all and looking forward to celebrating together soon.
Go Sooners!! Dana
All of a sudden I can't remember whether it's all uphill from here or downhill from here to convey what I mean: smooth sailing. Weird that I can't figure it out! I'll call William. Dana
Hanging in, my friend. You are so close to that darn finish line!
