These days are long. I'm exhausted. I'm getting by on love and determination. I love my angel of a wife.

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.

I was thinking today that this must be one of those times for you when you wonder "who your true friends are." Well, David Holder, you have one HECK of a cheering section! What a testament to the depths of your inspiration and the wide net of your generosity and love! This is gonna be one big party (tell E-man to start dusting off the ole' disco balls from the basement!). I can't wait.
Keep hangin' on ...

David,
Was in two houses of worship this am. In both places your name was called out. So much love goes out to you.
Polly Behrens, Katherine's mother, gave platelets the other day. In Baltimore. She is going to take train up to NYC to give them in your name at Sloan Kettering!
Would like to think the days seem long, long, long, because you are getting better, a bit restless.
You are one big courage muscle.
Love. Love. Love.

Hang tough Dave...the counts are up and the countdown is on for your escape to the outside. We are waiting for you when you get out of the big house :)
All our love and prayers,
The Wincups
Have faith David, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and everyday it is getting brighter. When you get to the end of tunnel there will be so many friends and family waiting to greet you.
Love Emma and family xxx
