Have fun. Smile. Plow on.
The objective of this blog is to keep my friends and family up to date on my delymphomanization.
Have fun. Smile. Plow on.
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.

thanks for the reminder about the important things. plow on.
Thanks for the reminder indeed. I don't know if the sheer will of your friends can wipe a PET scan clear, but if it can, it will be clear indeed. We are all with you and your family in spirit tomorrow!! Dana
That beautifully and simply articulated recognition dampens this mother's eyes.
Love and health are the core.
Yeah ELI!!
Mom
Amen. Just Amen to that.
Hugs to you and prayers for the best results on your upcoming test.
Leeann, Rob and kids

Your last entry made me tear up - and as some say it still ain't cool to cry. Like you said - there ain't many important things in life - but an Eli hug - priceless! Whatever news you receive tomorrow - be it great or not so great - I have confidence that you WILL beat this thing eventually. Not certain why I have the confidence - but I'm never wrong - ask my wife. :)

Great reminder -- it is so easy to forget things like that. I will be pulling for you today on results from the scan!
Keep plowing on David. These things are all true. And will be true when you are cured. You'll have lots more hugs in your future! XO EAH
