Just a quick update before the Holidays.
My surgeon, Dr. Craig DeWees, called me this afternoon to let me know that there are some preliminary results. What I have is what he called a ‘classic case of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.’
They are still running tests to determine what classification it is. There are several types of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. And then, we’ll do more tests to evaluate how advanced it is and what Stage it is.
I’m glad I know what it is, and that it has a name now. And from just preliminary research, it looks like Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is one of the easier cancers to fight – so I’m optimistic!
I have an appointment on Tuesday with an oncologist named Don Stevens, in the afternoon. Will know more then.
In the meantime, I plan on enjoying Christmas this weekend with family 🙂
