Husband and BIL have Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
My brother-in-law (BIL) was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Follicular Lymphoma 3 months ago. A month later my husband of 35 years was also diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Follicular Lymphoma. My BIL(married to hubby's sister) is at the "wait and see" phase of his Stage 4 cancer and my husband is receiving Rituxin and Bendo…

Can't remember how to send a message to a specific person (max )
To Max or anyone with Prostate Cancer knowledge: I just posted on the Prostate Cancer Forum regarding my husband (Mac).

Breastfeeding after low dose radiation for NHL
Hi there, I had Stage 1 NHL in 2014 and had 6 rounds of RCHOP chemo and 15 doses of radiation for the tumor they found in lymph node on right side of breast. Two years later at age 39, I'm 36 weeks pregnant with a baby boy (which we were able to conceive naturally) and I'm concerned about not being able to produce milk…
Setback or par for the course
Well it was nice being home for a few days, but Tuesday evening I started running a fever. Needless to say I'm inpatient again. They allowed me to stay local instead of driving 90 minutes to the hospital where I had the transplant. My transplant team is staying in close contact with my local oncologist which is nice. So…
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Success Story

The passage basically tells you that God will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear and when you are tempted , he will provide a way out so…
Customer Service (?) at Doctor's Office
It may seem odd that I think of myself as a customer at the doctor's office but I do. The fact is this practice has earned thousands of dollars in revenue off my lymphoma. When I became a patient of my hematologist/oncologist, we developed a great rapport. My husband and I both really like him a lot. Not only is he a…
Home today from SCT
Whewww, I came home today! This was definately harder than R-Chop or R-ice. I have absolutely no appetite so I'm forcing myself to eat. I didn't really have nausea with the other chemos, but definately do this time. Thank goodness for those anti-nausea meds. My mouth is constantly dry, and my taste buds for the first time…
SCT update, a quick hello and good wishes to all from Paella
Still haven’t adjusted to (nor totally accepted) the long duration of this SCT recovery. Am simply taking it a day at a time and trying to accept reality for reality. Other than bone-deep fatigue (which happens now maybe only 3 days per week) no problems with anything else. Moving and exercising help emotionally AND in…
stay safe
Thinking about all of you in the path of Hurricane Matthew and hoping and praying that all of you will be safe and also hope you don't suffer any damage. Bill and Becky
