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.

Guess what song I now have stuck in my head...?!
Love,
Adrianne -- I mean -- Sally
Yes! We had some friends play the theme song on their way down the isle at their wedding. You can't get a better theme song.
Glad to hear you've got a good set up over there.
We miss you guys,
Jenny
Not for me, but I am a first class wimp bag when it comes to violence. My mom took my brother and I to see it as a kid and as soon as they started hitting each other, I hit the floor and sat there the rest of the movie with my fingers plugging my ears.
Yes, I was a strange child.
Shut up.

Rocky III. I pity the fool.

I suppose its okay and somewhat inspirational :) But here are a few that I consider to be pretty high up on the list....
1.) Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (VERY early Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt. Prissy Catholic schoolgirl finds her inner wild child and wins dance contest)
2.) Cutting Edge (talk about inspirational! Ice Hockey player gets hurt, reluctantly becomes a figure skater and falls in love with his rich, bitchy partner. i know. SO original!!)
3.)Bring it On (Rich white suburban girl cheerleading team and inner city cheerleading team learn to respect eachother and, as the Cheerleading lingo goes, Bring it ON!)
Okay now seriously here are some of my favorite movies (in no particular order) for your viewing pleasure if you find yourself with some rest time on your hands... (and, yes, the above 3 ARE included. :) )

2.) Word Play
3.) Braveheart
4.) Gladiator
5.) Every Indiana Jones movie
6.) Every "Bourne" movie
7.) Time Cop

10.) Best in Show
11.) National Treasure
12.) The Rock (the movie AND the actor, Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.)

MAn! I could go on and on and on, but I suppose they're not paying me to make lists of (what I think are) good movies.
Love you. :)
We are with you everyday and you are in our hearts everyday. Love, Aunt Ellen and Uncle Bill
I have never seen Rocky. (Don't tell Todd) Do I need to see it? I think I would rather sleep.
Hope you and Liza are getting some rest. Tell her to call me from the cafeteria when she needs a dinner date.

Rocky - great soundtrack, one of my first movies as a kid (I'm with Leann). I think my parents were so desperate to see it, they took me (as a 5-year-old) and my brother (as a 1-year-old) with them to the drive-in and set up a little "nest" for us to sleep in in the back of our station wagon (complete with wooden side panels). All was well until I woke up just as Coach was slicing open Rocky's eye - I think I was scarred for life on my accounts after that adventure. (Though now I can't blame my parents since Andy and I saw our first movie in more than 2 years last weekend!). Anyway, I digress.
Bottom line: I ain't the tough guy - you are! And YOOOOO Liza!! She's pretty tough, too.
Miss you a bunch down here. Keep the emails, blogs, etc., coming and when Liza's done having dinner with Tammy, tell her to call me!!
So glad you guys are comfy up there. Keep watching the snail mail - more coming soon!
LYGs!
