Because I have friends here who I see nowhere else, and think you might want to know...
I have what's called Aggressive Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. It started in my privates. I had an operation New Year's Eve to remove the tumorous one of my two thingamabobs. The oncologists are still working out the details, but my treatment is necessarily going to be more aggressive than the cancer is. Because spreading to the brain is a risk with this particular form, each chemo session will include a spinal check to monitor for that, and appropriate action will be taken if it happens. Good news is because the cancer is so aggressive, it responds just as quickly to aggressive treatment. More good news is they are successful curing it, so this isn't a case of managing the cancer to prolong life. Their one and only goal is killing it completely and returning me to a cancer-free life. This is not a normal cancer, and each case is somewhat unique, so my treatment plan is still being determined. It's going to be quite a ride - the adventure of a lifetime. My priority now is being here next month, next year, and the next decades for my family, or as long as I can. But nothing is certain. There are no guarantees. I've placed my bets. I'm all in! I wish you all the very best, as I know you with the same for me. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Jan 12, 2020 12:23:15 |

Best wishes, Noel. I often see mention of new immunologic treatments for non-Hodgkins lymphomas, so I hope there's a helpful treatment for you. —Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com Last edited: Jan 13, 2020 12:43:16 |

You know we are all going to support you 100% as you deal with this Noel. One piece of advice is to look at loading your body up with nutrition to combat what the chemo may do to you during the treatments. I have a suggestion of using Moringa and you can ask your doctor. This natural herb has been used for centuries to nourish and combat illnesses including cancer. https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/vegetable/moringa.html —The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |

That's a helluva "milestone", man. I believe you'll also hit the cancer-free milestone as well. —The Reverbivores - we're local favorites! |

I don't know a lot. But I do know that between modern medicine, and a positive attitude, cancer don't stand no chance. You have both, so go forward, and make cancer wish it never messed with you. In the future, this will seem but a moment in time. Each day is a new day. Each day is a step forward towards victory. Sending good thoughts.
