In March of 2009 my wife Roberta was diagnosed with a brain tumor AND Ed has been diagnosed with NLPHL, a rare form of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Roberta had GammaKnife treatment for her tumor and seems OK (Future MRI tests). Ed will have R-CHOP chemo for 5-6 months.

Managing well
Thurday, day 4. The only symptoms I've had are slight punies. The steroid is keeping me up digitizing family photos from 2:00-4:00 Am. I've developed a minor tightness in my lungs...walking helps relieve that. I'm drinking lot of fluids, walking 1-2 miles per day, and eating as often as possible. I rinse my mouth with Biotene 3 times a day. I nap a couple of times a day. I'm keeping up my routine.... bookkeeping, honey-dos, small remodel projects. We're going on a good day hike this weekend and planning a pop-up camp trip next weekend.
