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.

David,
If you are craving any types of food, please tell us and don't be shy. It would be great to know what sorts of things you're finding palatable these days and what things you just can't stomach. Love to you, Liza and the boys (and Ruby too!)

David,
My father grew up down the street from a place called Hammonds Pretzels that makes the BEST hand-made Pensylvania Dutch pretzels. We always had them when we would visit my grandparents and have never found any better. Coincidentaly while he was undergoing treatment an old friend of his from high school sent him a tin of these pretzels not realizing just how much my father loved them. Needless to say he was very excited and tore into one of the individualy wrapped packs. They turned out to be as good as he remembered and one of the ONLY tolerable snacks during his illness. We often visit the factory when we are in Lancaster and they still hand make the pretzels in the same small building that was there when he was a child. Why mess with a good thing I say. Your box of pretzels is on it's way along with all our love and a wink from my Dad.
Love to Liza and the boys,
Jenny G. and my boys
(Keep at the acupuncture, it's been a life saver for me.)
David-
Our love and prayers are with you, we know that with your positive attitude and your supportive family, you are going to beat this.
IPOD question...video or music only?
I have some excellent recommendations for a good laugh, if you are interested...
