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.

Week Two after 2nd infusion
Been taking neupogen shots to increase white blood cell counts for 7 days. Neupogen works right down in the bone marrow. Last shot today. I normally take shot around dinnertime. Last night I took it around 9:00 PM after evening get together at a friends house. Weird night! I was very sleepless, achy, light sleep, up to pee every hour. Weird mental half-dream state. Bones ache some this morning. Took good mile walk this AM. Will take last neupogen shot earlier tonight. I guess neupogen is causing bones to ache....meaning it's working ! I'm off steroids for this round. Infusion number 3 in two weeks.
