From a conversation I had at work today.

All of you probably know I'm a cancer survivor. I was amazed to find out how little most people know about this family of diseases and the effects on both patients and those around them.

So, ask me anything. Seriously. Medical, emotional, nasty details about diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, recovery.. whatever. I'll answer as completely and accurately as possible.

For the record I had Stage IV-B Hodgkin's Disease. My early treatment and diagnosis is discussed in this article. (A few errors in the details, but it is amusing to see myself described as a "thin, pleasant, well-developed man."

Yeah, it makes it sound like I either had a really odd fetish ("now the Samsonite! Oh, yes!!!") or my lower extremities had deep-seated issues with luggage that they were dealing with in group therapy.
