I'm rooting for your husband, even though I don't know him.

I was diagnosed with DLBCL NHL in September 2021. It was in my stomach lining, and the weight loss was drastic — over 20 pounds in 2.5 months. However, once I found the right team, I started to gain weight even before I started treatment.

I underwent six rounds of R-CHOP--3-week intervals. After the 3rd chemo treatment, my PET scan showed no traces of the rogue cells. I tolerated chemotherapy well and continued to walk and exercise throughout the 18-week treatment.

I found it essential to have something to look forward to. So, I decided to learn photography, which I incorporated into my walks. I set a goal to start traveling to vegan-friendly places where I could walk after I was cleared to travel. In October 2022, 7 months after my last chemo treatment, I traveled to Amsterdam and Switzerland and ate my way through my trip. It was glorious.

I find that my mindset plays a big role in my recovery.

Note: There are many details in between and after, but I have provided the highlights.
