Wednesday Jim and I went in for my dr. appoint. Dr G gave me (and showed me) the results, that there was the large B-cell lymphoma in the lymph node that was biopsied. That means we go to step two which is high dose chemotherapy (probably GemOx [gemcitabine, oxaliplatin], and/or rituxan) and an autologous stem cell rescue (involves hospital stay). He said he’s still going for the cure. Now we’re waiting to hear from the insurance company before proceeding.
Jim went back to work and I went upstairs for another dose of rituxan plus a flu shot. My bloodpressure was the highest it has ever been at the doctor’s office, and only went down a bit when I got upstairs (I wonder why??!!) Afterwards I stopped at the library to get a ‘attitude boost’ and pass on the information. I spent the rest of the evening being depressed. Felt better later on, and today even better. Still not really chipper, but trying to get into the mind set for the upcoming treatments.
I’ll let you all know more as I find out. Probably not until next week.
Keep those prayers and good thoughts coming … I’ll need them.
Love to all

YO! Well, this is not what we wanted to hear, huh? You know we'll keep the prayers and thoughts going for you two. I just may even throw in a tomatoe or two, even. Those have been scarce this year but you are special so ...
Take care and get that attitude going, Girl.
Love Ya!
Terry
