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."

Well, I pretty much figured you had gone through HEdoubleL, and looked worse. But we're glad we still have you to raz and really enjoy that you're still around.
See you at the parties and the cons.
Big Harold loses his colon in December because of dysplasia that would become colon cancer if they don't remove the colon first. You know that surgery beats chemo any day. Meanwhile, his colon is giving him HEdoubleL. But he's considered a low priority surgery so we wait. I can't wait to get my husband back.
