Up to speed so far

For those not up to speed with everything:

After getting many tests and biopsies since this summer, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins B-Cell lymphoma, 3rd stage, on Friday, Nov. 3. They started my chemo that day and I am scheduled for 6 more treatments, every 3 weeks (hopefully done sometime in Feb.). The lymphnodes that are most bothersome are in the chest and were making it hard to breathe. This has lessened, thankfully. They also said it had spread to the spleen, which is not uncommon, but I am not yet sure what they will do about that, if anything.

I was sent home the following Monday, Nov. 6 and have been generally in good health. A bit of nausea here and there, but mostly just tired, sneaking in 2 naps a day. We have had much help, and many more offers of help, so we are well loved and taken care of. Pierre's mom has been staying with us ever since I came out and been a huge help during the week (we send her home on the weekend). Thanks Maman!

Besides that, we plug along and take it as it comes.....
