Biopsy Results

Sep 16, 2005 23:05

Hi guys! I am still on vacation but thought I would update you all as to the results of my biopsy. We heard from the doctor and the results came back. The biopsy showed that the lymphoma is a non-hodgkins anaplastic T-cell lymphoma. It is an agressive type and needs to be dealt with, we may need to end our vacation sooner than planned. From what I understand, if this kind is treated soon enough the chances of it being curable are higher than if it is treated after it has spread to the bone marrow for instance.

I am on ambrotose right now, (more info on that later), and am feeling better than I was. When we get back we may be sent to MD Anderson in Houston. We'll see. In the meantime, I covet your prayers. We are hoping to be able to use methods of treatment that would not be as bad for the body as chemo. Been doing a lot of research, and even the doctors have resources and might be able to treat this with things that are not as bad.

Going to bed now in Eugene!

Oh,here is some info about the cancer that I have been diagnosed with. http://www.alcl.com/index.html
