Gretchen,

We are all part of a somewhat unique club; a family, really. I know that I am, and surely the rest of the cancer treatment community are hear to help. I have adopted the practice of not getting too far ahead, and always knowing there are almost always viable medical options and ensuring treatment plans available. I was diagnosed with a complex, unusual lymphoma case which began as stage 4b hodgkins lymphoma, then somehow turned into follicular non hodgkin's lymphoma. For me, perhaps the most difficult part is waiting for test results, pet scans, which I have next Tuesday.
I find that communicating with others helps me enormously.
I wish you happiness and health.
Don
