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..

We will be thinking of you and praying. Lymphoma is very beatable these days. My brother was diagnosed with it Dec/15 and had it beat by May/16. He still has the port in his chest. Although now he just saw a doctor (in Japan) and his Thyroid is enlarged so he's going to get it checked. Picking him up at the airport today in fact.
He had all his done at the Cancer treatment center of America in Tulsa. You got this diddy! |

I would like to thank everyone for the support. That is mostly what I need right now. Still sort of speechless (if ever I could be). I feel confident that I will be able to whip this thing, still don't know exactly what I'm up against. Waiting to schedule appt w/ oncologist still. Days seem like months. I got the scan and port surgery coming this week but, dammit, I want to know the plan.
