Thank you for starting a great discussion @isadora2021 and for sharing your experience in such a beautiful and inspiring way. I can relate to your experience as well. I was overwhelmed when the doctor explained the stage IV CNS lymphoma diagnosis in the hospital and the extensive chemotherapy needed. I remember thinking that I was not strong enough physically or mentally to survive the disease and the many chemotherapy treatments.

I am now in the ninth month of NED with a lot of help from a caring and compassionate group of medical professionals. I learned so much about myself in getting to know some of these amazing people during my many days in the hospital and in the transfusion clinic. So many were willing to take some of their valuable time to share their own experiences and offer encouragement. Thru these conversations and my successful progress thru each treatment, I came to realize how incredibly strong I am. And most importantly, that I am a survivor. And as mentioned already, the incredible healing potential of a healthy diet and exercise.

So glad to hear of your continued remission @isadora2021 and sending best wishes to all for the healthiest lives possible.
