F**k Cancer!!!!

[Eli]

I have a follow up appointment with my Oncologist tomorrow. The check up is fairly basic and usually just involves the doctor doing an ultrasound on my lymph nodes. I'm four years out and have been to many of these appointments but it still doesn't make it any easier...at least for me. Even after all the time that has passed these appointments bring me emotionally right back to where I was four years ago. I get really stressed out leading up to it and then I usually feel a rush of relief afterwards.

Good luck! All six of us will be thinking of you!

Good luck GRADS, I will be thinking of you and having positive thoughts for you! Nick goes through the same thing every time he has a follow up.

Fingers crossed for you Grads.

My brother in law just got out of the hospital today.
He has been in for three weeks for stem cell replacement.
I believe this was the final step in a treatment thats been going on since Aug.

Sounded good the other day when I talked to him. I know he was going crazy in the hospital.
He's only 52 and was diagnosed 5 years ago with a rare case of mantle cell lymphoma.
Thank you Eli, I don't usually post this kind of stuff up.

Thank you for sharing. I have a few friends fighting lymphoma. A rare type with no cure, but goes dormant. Are you guys in touch with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society? I did a fund raiser for them. Bike rode 100 miles. It's a great organization and a great cause!

I sat down next to a lady at my treatment today who has stage 4 colon cancer. I felt so bad for her. Makes my deal seem so minor.

That really has to be tough.
Makes our every day " what's for dinner, how's my commute gonna be tonight" so insignificant.
Best of luck to you, and Grads of course.

So sad!

At one of Nick's chemo treatments the nurse asked if he'd like to meet the patient that would take over his "chemo suite" when he was finished with his....he turned to see a frail, pale 9yr old little girl. He said he felt like such an ass feeling sorry for himself...that she may never even get to experience the things he has.

Hang in there djunkie!
