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."

BTW, did I ever tell you about the research protocol for a clinical trial of a new cancer treatment, that due to a misused spellchecker back in final editing, kept talking about their "nonmyeloablative conditioning regiment"?

Could the next edition of G:T Ground Forces tell us more about this fascinating fighting force, you think?

Obviously a training unit. The 383rd Nonmyeloablative Conditioning Regiment (Unified Army of Lymph) specilizies in training human recruits to deal with Sayat military organizations, one of the more hazardous specilties in Imperial service.
