    Stephanie, I've been in remission from Follicular Non-Hodgkins since July 2010 and just recently had a meltdown when my daughter was home. I've been slowly snacking on a HUGE bag of choc.chips and my daughter asked "where did all the choc.chips go if there aren't any cookies?" I just patted my fat tummy! and then cried.

    We all have our weak moments.
    Glad you found the forum!
    Hugs!

    thanks for the welcoming
    thanks for the welcoming hug! And what a blessing for you to be in remission for almost a year! I also had Follicular NHL-stage 4 aggressive but thank God they got it all!

    mmm-cookies sound good :)

    Welcome Stephanie
    Hi Stephanie,
    Welcome to our little family..which by the way seems to be growing. It always makes me sad when a new name appears, but I immediately remember back to the days before I found this group and how scared and lonely I was. I would be lost without my buddys here and soon you will probably feel the same way. Today is my hubby Steve's birthday and I forgot all about it! I can't believe it! My youngest son called and asked what time would be good to come over and I said..."for what?" He said.."mom..your kidding arn't you, it's dad's birthday"!! I didn't know what to say. After I hung up the phone I just sat down and cried. But, I've put my make up on and curled my hair and in a few minutes I'm heading out to the store to get a cake, card and a present. The boys and grandkids will be here at 5:00..(after calling them all), and maybe Steve won't think I forgot. I just feel so bad that when he called me from work this morning that I didn't say "Happy Birthday honey", like I've done for 32 years. Well...whats done is done, so I'll just have to put it behind me. Anyways...once again..."Welcome Stephanie"! (sorry to have talked your head off when first meeting)...ha!
    Love...Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)

    Birthday
    Sue,
    Use the ole Chemo brain thing on the forgotten birthday. LOL John

    Effexor
    Hi Lisha,
    I am on effexor for my hot and chilled episodes. The effexor helps my moods swings too. I think my husband is buying stock in the company:)

    I love my effexor
    I take it for hot flashes and love it, don't really want to give it up. They may do it for the transplant...it's still up in the air. I'll have to talk to the doc on thurs.

    Thanks for the warm welcome.
    Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope your little last minute birthday planning goes well. Maybe your husband didn't realize you didn't say happy birthday?

    The day doesn't seem to be getting any better but I know it will. While I was going through treatment I created a website as a way for people with NHL or other forms of cancer to come and be a support system. Unfortunately nobody can find it!

    I'm not sure if I can list external web links so I won't. But if anybody would like to check it out let me know.

    I know this journey really is one day at a time. I think I'm just having some post-treatment reactions to what I'd gone through the last 6 months.

    blog
    I'd like to read your journey! I also did a journey to help others. mine is http://lifeisgood2010.wordpress.com/

    I've posted it before, so I think it's ok to post external sites.
    Hugs
    Janelle
