I’m going to Jacksonville.
There is a sniper I need to see.
His eyes are keen. His hand is steady. He deals with his target decisively.
He will review the strategies of the battle fought thus far.
He will examine the remains of The Monster’s first offense.
The first tumor.
He will peer into The Monster’s new nest.
He will evaluate the trench that has been created and that harbors the blasted cell mutation.
He will consider a coup de main.
The shot needs to be clear if the The...
Hi, I have joined the group related to my specific cancer, but any lymphoma patient is invited to join, as long as you realize what this group is not seeking. Advice, sharing on T-cell, follicular, etc., will not be shared in my blog, A Miracle Journey. I have had and believe in miracles, with God as the all knowing Father.
my son was diagnosed in August, he has had 3 R chop treatments
He had a pet scan last week results hopefully next week. Most people
we have spoken to who have had lymphoma had B cell. i have been
unable to find much information about T cell and am curious if it would

Day 19 after first chemo round.
Thankfully the chemo has been quite kind to Norm. He has passed the queasiness and his appetite, although it waned, returned well. In fact on weigh in this Tuesday he had gained 1kg - oh joy !!! He started having nose bleeds on about day 15 - just out of the blue which have now turned into a sticky globbiness that bungs him up.

Yesterday the coli rectal nurse rang Darren to let him know what is going to happen over the coming days. She explained that on Friday the...
Two weeks ago my life, my family’s and husbands life changed forever. my husband had a colonoscopy and subsequent CT scan revealed a tumour that was 10 cm in length. it had invaded his liver, with metastases throughout his abdomen.
At the time his cancer was diagnosed my husband lived away from home to work in the Middle East. after diagnosis he was sent home to get treatment. luckily we live in the UK near to a specialist cancer research hospital, which helps us tremendously.
my husband...
Has anyone not thought that yet?
There are so many times over the last five years where something has happened and I've worried because the docs didn't tell me to expect it, or that it might happen, or the best one - the docs didn't know it could happen!
The reason I bring it up? Well, I'm going personal again folks so you may want to avert your eyes!
I've recently had a hysteroscopy and then a pipelle biopsy - nope, that's not where they stick a bat (pipistrelle...
Warning: this post references post-surgery bleeding and pooing and tries to provide attempts at humour.
My advice for any person who is about to have a Trachelectomy procedure and wants to know what to prepare for afterwards is this: –
That’s the only thing you need to do now. Whether this be mentally, physically, spiritually or grammatically please engage in some selfish behaviour that isn’t even that selfish to begin with.
The hospital that performs the procedure may very...
