Just hang in there. My boss had stage 4 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma just last year and he is now cancer free after going through treatment.
Keep a positive attitude!

It's tough to come up with the right words in tough times so I'll just say that I'll pray for you and hope you come out better and stronger on the other side. Keep your head held high and beat this thing. All the best to you.

Here's my mug shot from Monday, completion of Infusion 6, Cycle 3. I am still alive and keep on fighting!  1 or 3 Cycles more to go depending on my next PetScan at the end of Cycle 4.

Thanks everyone for the continued support!
For those of you not checking out my blog, here is an excerpt from last Wednesday's Doctor Visit. My next chemo and hopefully my last infusion is this Monday, October 29, 2012.
3:15: We are shown to the back. I am gaining a little weight, I am 266, but I will work on that again once I am better.
3:20: The nurse goes over everything with me, takes my pressure. I tell her that my abdomen had some pain last week, but other than that, I have been good. She says takes the note, and then heads out while saying the doctor will be in shortly.
3:25: The doctor comes in and he checks on me. We go through everything, he feels where the lumps were and don’t feel anything which is good, although he can’t feel the masses in my chest. He then sits down and we go over the results of the Pet Scan. Here is where the results of the Pet Scan really play a roll. He is very pleased seeing the pet scans in the 2′s down from 10′s-14′s. He said that the tumors and cancer cells are responding well to the chemo treatment and shrinking and decreasing activity. My next chemo treatment is not this upcoming Monday, but the following Monday, that will be infusion 8, and the end of cycle 4. The following next Wednesday, 9 days after the last infusion, will be my 3rd Pet Scan. If the activity numbers come back less than 2, then we will stop the Chemo treatments and start up the Radiation Therapy for one month, which is 4 weeks, 5 days a week. If the numbers are in the 2′s or risen at all, then we will complete the 6 cycles of chemo before starting the radiation, but with the way everything is looking now, chemo should be over after cycle 4.
As always, I will keep ya'll up to date! Fight on!
