The Official Cancer diagnosis Thread
Don't get on much anymore but I would like to share my adventure.
What started with some back pain led to a myelogram (can't have MRI because of pacemaker after heart valve replacement). Myelogram revealed 2 nodules on my thyroid. The left side was virtually gone and the right had a smaller nodule on it. They biopsied the left and found it to be benign but did not biopsy the right. They were going to remove the left side and I told them to take the whole thing because I didn't want annual biopsies on the right and was already hypothyroid. During thyroidectomy had to remove some lymph nodes during the surgery. Specimens were sent to the lab and yesterday, at my one week follow up, was given the news that I have lymphoma. Wednesday I have a PET scan to determine the severity and Thursday I have a minor surgery to install a port to begin chemo asap. At this point haven't spoken with an oncologist and don't know anything but it appears that I am not going to need to spend extra money on shampoo or haircuts for a minute. anywho, if you are praying anyway, slip a little word in for me if you could. Thanks, Jeff EDIT: I started a blog about what's going on: https://jeffbeatscancer.com/ It will have the most current information. Last edited by ShortRoundChief; 06-03-2017 at 11:24 AM..

My brother went through it and never lost any hair at all. But he's a red head and a Marine. Red Heads are just different in so many ways. Good luck with all of it. Time to kick it's ass.

If you keep focused on this this perspective you wrote in your blog, it will all work out positively.
![]() ===================================================== This brings me to my final debate: What is living? What makes a life worthwhile? What brings someone happiness? I thought I used to know the answers to these questions when in fact I do not. I know there are things I want to do before my time is up but I found that being more of a to do list before I die than living life itself. Then it occurred to me: living is a perspective. I can choose to approach each task, no matter how arduous or mundane, as a box I must check before I move on and go on not dying or I can choose to appreciate the beauty of each task and live. I know this might sound a bit crazy, but hear me out on this. For example, I can choose to approach mowing the grass as a chore that just must be done or get fined from the city or I can choose to enjoy the fact that I am blessed enough to be outside taking care of my land, enjoying some exercise and being a part of nature. I can choose to grumble through washing dishes or I can choose to be blessed with the knowledge that in a world full of starving people, I have food in my belly and those pesky dishes must be washed to prepare myself for my next meal.
