Yes, unfortunately it is primary cutaneous gamma-delta t-cell lymphoma. He started his first round of ICE last week and has another round on the 20th.

Well, shucks, that’s not the diagnosis you were hoping for. The good news is he had a firm diagnosis so that treatment could be started right away.
Usually the week following chemo is when the side effects of the treatment begins to be felt, such as fatigue, possible loss of appetite and just feeling pretty loagy.
That usually lasts for about a week or so as the blood numbers drop being impacted from the chemo. Within a few days he’ll start feeling a little more chipper as his blood numbers (red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) start rising again. Often, just in time for round two of the chemo.
How’s your husband feeling? Was he admitted to the hospital for the chemo infusions or is this outpatient?
