So. I haven't been updating my Blog recently. That's because I found out last Thursday I have Lymphoma (there's still some question about weather or not it's Hodgkin's). I think my blog is going to start getting more personal.
My Reader(s) should he/she chose to continue reading my blog is going to get the day to day (or at least weekly) Scoop on what it's like to have a 90% curable cancer, in as up beat a read as I can manage.
Here goes...
Last Tuesday I had a lymph node removed to do a biopsy. Then last Thursday the results came back positive for Lymphoma.
Yesterday I got my Hair colored, and now it's teal and dark dark brown. I feel pretty cool right now. I know though that I was only aloud to do this at all, because chemotherapy will most likely cause it to all fallout. For now I'm just going to enjoy it though.
Tomorrow I'm going to Children's and UAMS so they can do a full battery of different tests. The goal is to find out what stage I am, and they want to give a second opinion on weather or not it is Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
I'm totally scared right now..
I have to get a CT scan and a PET scan.
Me, the claustrophobic blogger.
in a tube of noise..
anyways.. the diet I have to be on for a PET scan is ridiculous. For lunch today I had sauteed Mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower over eggs. NO salt, NO cheese, NO milk...
...so lame...
so that's what I've been holding back.
