Today I Celebrate!
Today is my 56th birthday! Clearly I don't mind sharing my age! On the contrary, I celebrate each and every year and am so thankful for the gift of time given to me by the countless people who made radioimmunotherapy possible. Thanks to this new type of treatment, I've had three birthdays that 4 years ago I wasn't sure I would have!
I have been reading with great interest the comments that have been posted. Some make me smile, such as successful treatment stories. Others break my heart - believe me, I know the physical and emotional pain and strain of NHL.
While it is impossible to answer each comment individually, I will try to categorize the questions and provide answers from the perspective of a patient, not as a medical professional.
So please keep writing - it is heartening to hear from all who share this common bond.
