I'm doing what I can to stay in shape so the doctors will give me the green light for discharge. Hopefully I have just a few days to go.

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.

Hey Dave,
I hope you're hanging in there, keeping your chin up and staying focused on getting the heck out of Dodge. You've got legions of folks rooting for you!
I checked out your photo page and your boys are just lovely. You and Liza made two precious little boys.

I'm one of those folks rooting from the sidelines. You are an inspiration! Been reading up your postings every day a new one is released. Look forward to catching up when you've got this thing kicked!

Hi David,

Hi Dave and family,
I stumbled across your blog and became intested as my husband is fighting peripheral t cell lymphoma.I am amazed at how similar our stories are.Phil is 42 and has recently relapsed and is receiving ICE treeatment as we speak in preparation for an allogenic stem cell transplant.He was diagnosed last June and completed 8 rounds of CHOP and 15 rounds of radiation by January.He was only free from cancer two months before it returned.We were getting ready for an auto stem cell transplant just before his relapse,so now doctors want to do an allogenic stem cell transplant probably next month after salvage therapy.You should keep in touch with us at staciehope@zoomtown.com
We could exchange stories and support each other.This cancer is so uncommon there are not many people in our place.....
Dave,keep getting stronger and we will beat this thing together with God's love.....
Stacie
