My cancer presented in the skin with sores all over my body that got staph and would not heal. The staph got into my blood stream and my heart was…

FNA or removal?
I would like to get feedback from you all. I have had an enlarged lymph node that is very hard (doesn't hurt) and other "symptoms". The ENT sent me last May for a CT scan and found that I had a 1.2cm enlarged jugulodigastric node. My symptoms gradually increased and in October I went back to my GP and he said that he…

Apology..
Hi guys, I feel like I need to apologize for something I said in an earlier post(yesterday, I think)....regarding $$$$ made off of cancer, and saying there is no incentive for finding a cancer cure, and also saying we probably won't ever see it happen. It just wasn't right for me to say that, especilly on a group site…

Anyone getting REPOCH and a pump at home
I just started my 2nd round of REPOCH with several hours in the Dr. clinic and the rest of the day and night with a small portable pump.
