My name is Irene. I was diagnosed June...Hello Gary. My name is Irene. I was diagnosed June 2015 with stage 4 non Hodgkin lymphoma. Only reason I found out my left leg below the knee was starting to swell. Believe me, I was total shocked to hear this news, even to this day. I went thru 8 rounds of chemo; on 12th day was when my hair starting falling out, and that was also a shock. My last treatment was Feb 2016. Then I started every 2 months with Rutuxamin. In all this time, I only missed 1 day of work, even with going thru chemo, and that's only because I just felt like playing hooky from work. Anyway, I still have until October and that will be last my treatment. My scans have been good. I'm telling you this because it does pay to be positive and to keep negative thoughts, feelings and negative people away from you, they will just drain you. After going thru all this, now I'm having to face foreclosure on our 40 acres, but I figured the good Lord upstairs healed me so that I now face this new challenge. I did not have to have surgery other than to have a portal put in below my right collarbone. I won't lie to you, it may not be easy for you. Chemo affects people differently, but I have a strong will to live and it made me all the more determined to face what I went thru. Those shakes do taste good, but I would also drink Ensure to give you extra energy. I gave up on RC cola just to help. I ended up losing 36 pounds, simply just didn't have an appetite on some days, heck even eating a small bowl of cheerios was a success, but it's mostly the fatigue that is also a bummer, because there may be days when you will just want to rest and sleep all day maybe and that's all right, because your body is trying to heal itself. I didn't mean to write a book, because I normally don't tell other people this, but I read your blog every day, and I will pray and keep positive thoughts for you.
