I’m back at it again. I went in for my annual scans and bloodwork, and they found a dime-sized spot on my left lung, and Non-Hodgkin’s markers showed in my blood. A week later I went in for a needle biopsy to see what type of cells were on my lung. That test came back as Non-Hodkin’s, the exact cell type. I’d have to go dig for it. The bad news is that I have cancer. The good thing is that there were two case study options that are not standard chemotherapy. I chose the treatment that is 3 months long, and I get an infusion for 3-4 hours every two weeks. I’ve had one so far. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t a 10 on the suckfest scale. A solid 6 but not a 10 on the Jason scale. So far body aches, headaches, and a general lack of energy. So far manageable by my experience. As this dance progresses, I’ll come back here and try to keep everyone updated.

I am home, and I’m the healthiest I’ve been since starting this dance both physically and mentally.
