That was FAST
I got a call today from my primary care doctor. She said she had reviewed my chart because of how drastically my health changed. She told me that in November, my blood levels, etc. were normal. In mid-December, I got anemic. The anemia is because of the cancer. So, in 2 months, the lymph nodes had reacted enough that I noticed bumps.
How on earth did something that started in December get to Stage IV in 3 months??? I guess the internet sites that call DLBC lymphoma aggressive aren't kidding.
One other issue that was revealed: my chronic lower back problems are due to degenerative disc disease. So, naturally, my back has been hurting continually since I was told.
Welp, I'm tired, so I'll end this for now. Updates will probably be relatively frequent. Please keep praying!

I like your attitude. Your job is to watch how God works and be impressed by the results of His work (the fear of the Lord). The tougher the cancer, the greater the glory when it is healed.
Hey Nancy, Sorry I don't get on here as much as I used to but I just really don't use this site anymore. I use MySpace and Facebook a lot more but I still do read your enteries here and I am keeping you in my prayers. I can't believe how everything happened so far. Hang in there gal!!
@roadrunner21 - It's such a strange experience, :sicky: I spent 8 hours in chemo today. My husband came with me and stayed almost the whole time. It was about as exciting as watching paint dry. So far so good though. Thanks for your prayers, they mean so much!
@Gladitsme - Well glad to hear that your husband was there with you most of the day today while you were at chemo. I could imagine that it was no fun then because watching paint dry isn't very exciting. I just hope the chemo helps.
