I was blogging at another website but it was getting aggravating and such, So I figured Id move over to Blogspot. As background, My name is Dan, I'm 28 and on Jan 10th 2011 I was diagnosed with Marginal Zone Lymphoma, which is a type of blood cancer. They removed a mass about 7 or 9 cm from me, cant remember which, but both are extrememly large sizes lol from my thigh. It apparently was one of my actual lymphnodes. So I decided to write to get everything out the the open and get it out from rolling inside my head and maybe possible help someone else out who is in my boat here or later on in life. At this point I am 10 Days inside my chemotherapy regime RCHOP which stands for Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisolone. From what i understand its pretty normal but difficult treatment. But my experiance so far hasnt been that disagreeable. I am having issues sleeping but the ativan helps when i take it. And little issues with my stomach. The biggest issue i feel is with bone pain, for some reason it just get terrible but again it might just be in my head. I still eat enough to kill a horse because there is nothing else to do and besides taking naps I am pretty much normal. but again I am only on day 10 since first chemo treatment.
I will post regular updates about my side effects, experiances and emotions to help or let people know what not to do.. lol.
