I am posting to you here since this board is quite sparse for postings and didn't want to reply to you on the AVXL board.

I turn 77 in a few months. Was diagnosed with Grade 2 stage 4 fNHL in 2008 at age 59. There are so many NHL types and subtypes that treatment isn't all the same. I am fortunate that chemo and entirely changing my lifestyle have enabled me to remain in the "undetected category" after 2009. After the completion of chemo I was never able to work again. While it saved my life, (I was literally at deaths door) the side effects of the chemo will remain with me the rest of my life due to cell and nerve damage. Having so many sensory issues, I now have greater empathy and understanding of those who are on the autism spectrum as well as those who deal with any kind of cancer. I have a great quality of life as long as I listen and follow my adaptions.

If you ever want to chat shoot me a message on the free friday hour here at ihub with your contact info and I am happy to share/commiserate or provide support as a member of the NHL "C club". God Bless you.
