How it Began in the Fall of 2008

In our journey through life, we came upon another major curve this past fall. After a routine physical, it was noticed that a number of my blood numbers were high. The test was redone a month later and the numbers were even higher. My physician notified my oncologist since I was treated for Hodgkins’ Lymphoma in 2005. They suspected that the Lymphoma had reoccurred. After two biopsies, their diagnosis was confirmed.

The plan was to take a number of tests, then two cycles of chemotherapy and get ready for a Stem Cell Transplant at The Stanford Medical Center that is nearby.
