Hi Colleen. I’m doing well. It’s still hard to grasp as otherwise I’m a very healthy individual. I did seek a 2nd opinion at MD Anderson and glad I did. He did further testing to include a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. He wants my blood drawn monthly instead of every 3 months for now. I am considered stage 1 due to slight swelling in lymph nodes on my neck. I am asymptomatic and feeling good. Just trying to learn how to accept it and move forward without fear.
I have a wonderful support system with my husband, grown boys and friends which definitely helps.
