HL Causes
I thought I already posted this and maybe it was removed. The question I have is why aren't Dr.s asking more about what we did before finding the HL? It seems like they would want to know all of my activities, medicines and habits and then compare to all others with HL. I hope that finding the cause is just as important as…

Rituxan Maintenance #8 - Interesting Day
If I count the 8 times I had Rituxan as part of R-CHOP, my 8th maintenance infusion yesterday made the 16th time I've had this drug. I don't feel very good today, as I knew I wouldn't, but it is temporary and certainly worth it. There were 2 women sitting across from me having Rituxan for the first time. One woman starting…

Funny Cat Video... Chemo #2 this week... No Sleep for me!!

A Story - Feelings of Cancer [non-hodgkins Lymphoma]

I felt as though I had been conditioned for that situation, as weird as that may sound. Much of my parents' strict…
