Just got the pathology report back, & the better half, Pam, has B cell lymphoma. After enduring weeks of worsening back pain, she suddenly lost the use of her legs 2 weeks ago & I took her to the hospital. They found a tumor on her spine & removed it last Sat. The back pain is gone & she is slowly regaining use of her legs. It appears that it is not widespread yet and that they got most of the tumor. She is slated to begin radiation therapy asap.

sorry to hear about that. be glad you got it when you did. my dad ignored his pain and was told he had lymphoma 4 days before he died. that was labor day this year. The good news for you is you caught it...from what I know it is good that you are in treatment. keep us posted please. remember that she will need you alot...not just because she feels crappy but it is also a little scary. good luck and keep her laughing it really helps.R

Barry, please give Pam my best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. You can beat cancer if you catch it soon enough and attack it aggressively. We will all be pulling for her.

Barry,
You, Pam and your family have been added to my prayers list. My wife is recovering from Pancreatic Cancer. Pam needs all the help from you that you can give. It also is hard on the caregiver. Email me if you would like to talk. Flathead.
I hope everything goes well with the treatments. The doctors have learned a lot in the last few years.
Thanks! We are hopeful since it seems to be isolated at this time and treatment is available for this condition. Barry'd in Studes
Here's an interesting article in the Times about a cancer patient who is inventing a cure that may even save him--

This item was featured on a talk-radio program here in Calgary yesterday. Interesting? The Cancer community seemed to think it has great promise and for the sake of the folks who suffer through and die from cancer, I sure hope it works!
