Four months and ten days later and I'm still the luckiest man on earth.
I'm feeling great. Really great. Thank you for getting me here.
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.

Well, David, thanks for carrying us on the wings of your airplane. Dips, turns, sunrises. . .

Wow is right! So glad to know that you're feeling great. Awesome, just awesome. Looking forward to seeing you soon, and maybe talking about something really trivial. Won't that be a relief? Dana
Yay! Just brought a huge smile to my face, Dave. So glad you are feeling well!
