Cancer Overview:
General Cancer Type: Lymphoma - Non Hodgkins
Specific Cancer Type:
Treatment Summary:
5 rounds of chemo (CHOP) and 6 weeks of radiation to kill and shrink a softball sized tumor under my right arm. A spleenectomy in 2000 to remove an enlarged spleen the was found to be filled with leftover dead c-cells. A great scare in 2001 that was reported to have abnormal lymphnodes in both sides of the groin, under left arm and down by the aorta. After a biopsy of 3 nodes in the left side of the groin, they were all found clean. So 5 more years of twice yearly CAT scans to keep watch, I was given the all clear for no more scans. YEA!!! No more barium!!! So, here I am today.
