2.26.09 -- THE BIG C

Well today we were introduced to the new world of CANCER! We were diagnosed with B-lineage non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (Burkitt or Burkitt-like lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL]) and by the textbook it has an 80% to 90% long-term survival.[1,2,3,4]. Say that three times fast!!!! We decided to take the most agressive treatment path, and the Dr. prepared me that he would loose his hair (I told him I thought he would look Sexy Bald!). I am so blessed that David's family has stood behind me in the extremely difficult decisions that I have had to make on his behalf.
