Praise the Lord
I'm so happy I could cry. My dad was diagnosed almost exactly a year ago today with diffuse large b cell Non Hodgkins Lymphoma stage 3 progressing quickly to 4.

Thinking good thoughts...
Hi guys, Just want you to know I'm thinking good positive thoughts for all of you. I've read all of the current comments, but do not have time to answer each one.

What to expect during chemo

Worst day(s) during cycle
Hey everybody, just curious what everyone's worst days were as far as fatigue and malaise during their cycles? Today has been a doozy, I don't remember ever being so devoid of energy ever before. I sure hope it improves.
So tell me, I'm curious
So I read today while I was in the chair that ANC between 500 and 1000 is moderate neutropenia. My count was 500 on the nose and the Onc went ahead with treatment. She does not want to give me a shot to up my white cell count so I'm a bit nervious about my infection risk. So the question is have any of you gone on with…

Hodgkins first day of stem cell harvest.
Yeap today was the first day of my stem cell harvesting. It went pretty well. They hooked me up to a machine for about 4 hours to try and extract my good stem cells from my blood. They will call me later to give me my counts. Then they will let me know if I need to return to have it done again. I hear most likely I will…
