So I had lymphoblastic lymphoma (NHL) and went through hyper-cvad chemo from Sept. 06 - Feb. 07 and then radiation. I've been feeling good and good to be back to life and all that. Well I noticed a swollen lymph node under my jaw line and began to worry some. I went to the clinic got a prescription for some stong anitbiotics an nothing happened so I go to my regular doc this past Monday and I was told I have strep throat. Well one thing I haven't mentioned is my man parts (my balls) have gotten swollen the last few weeks, but no pain or bumps or anything. Well go to see my real cancer doc. at the clinic today and he took one look and my two friends and said "shiat". So I had a bone marrow biopsy done right then and there and I just got home. This sucks so bad I can't hardly type this from my tears. I do sometimes have depresion and feel sorry for myself, but for once in my life I can truly say its justified.
I hope to beat this crap again and its not even the question of going back into remission again, its the uncertainty of whats next and whats it all for...all this pain and suffering just be back at square one. I don't know right now this was just so sudden and all I can't think straight.
So I got some scans to take tommorow or friday and we'll see whats really going on....I hope for the best. Going to have 2-3 rounds of chemo then an auto transplant this time.
