Hey Mos- I'm a Cancer with Cancer as well. I have non-hodgkins lymphomia.
Had a Bone marrow trans about 17 years ago and all was well until it came back about 2 yrs. ago. Ain't that a bitch! My Oncoligist wants to watch and wait. He say's "Lizzie, your not sick now, but when I hit ya with chemo- you know" And (I don't understand this) but he said right now chemo could open me up to the chance of Lukiemia.
I was 28 the first time. Stage 4 with 70 percent of my bone marrow tummored. I had a yr and a half of chemo with few breaks between, was a young married couple with a 3 yr. old daughter.
Mine is enviromentally caused. The first time round- they NEVER saw some one so young with the type I had/have. It hit old people and Vietnam Vets. exposed to agent orange!
Unfortunatly, there are lots of young people with this lymphomia now. I was in a support group for young people 8-10 of us, I was one of the sickest. I went to most of their funerals, I'm the sole survivour.
I was seeing Dr. Mena AND a holistic Dr. who my best friend sent me to. I said I can't afford it! He said- afford what? I'm gonna treat you for free!!
It would be cool to exchange emails! If you want.
[email protected] cause I've been around forever and I hate to bore my friends, unless I have a change. BTW- my immune system is screwed, I was SO sick for 4 weeks, just feeling better now.
I think it's kinda a cosmic thing that we started talking!!!
And Duckey- ya crack me up!!!
Kind love-
Liz
