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.

Day 6 after #5
Quit steroids on Friday............finally sleeping Saturday night !!! what a relief! Chest congestion is slowly healing. I don't really have lungs filled up. It's like my lungs slowly develop phlegm and I continually cough it out. When I'm also on steroids, the nights spent awake and coughing are no fun, but I can grin and bear it, knowing that it passes after stopping the steroids. I'm beginning to feel a little bone pain again, that I assume will abate aftter I stop taking the white-blood-cell-building shots on Tuesday.
