I had 6-Velcade & 8-Rituxan which did not work in 2004 & then had 23-days of radiation at UCLA in 10-04. That made remission which is continuing.

Back from Biopsy
I had posted previously asking questions about excision of groin lymph node. The Dr. ended up taking out three lymph nodes but told my family they looked benign to him. I should have the results in 3 to 4 days. So, it does sound good. I do wonder why he would have taken three out when only one had been swollen for a long…
