Kristi: I hope this speed bump in your lives is just a temporary shake up, and you both get back to normal [or as close as you were before, lol] very soon. Being ill [or injured] is a rough time for anyone, and it's worse for us because we're fiercely independent - it's a blessing and a curse. Please keep us in your thoughts, as we'll be keeping you in ours.

Thank you everyone so very much. It turly means the world to me that even thought we haven't met most of you in person, you are all still so supportive. I promise to keep everyone posted on here and I will still be trolling around on here. I very much enjoy the friendships. And at times Im sure I will need to vent.

We are very blessed to have much support from friends and family here at home as well as all you praying for us. This is going to be a tuff road for us but with God's love and all the support, we WILL get through all this.

Im not a big talker on the phone however I am a texting fool, so with that being said if for some reason I get busy with everything going on and you are wondering how we're doing please fell free to text or email me. Again thank you everyone for all the love and support and with the Grace of God we'll be back at it in no time.

I can totally relate to what you are going through. (actually the hubby). I just got released from the hospital a week ago with lymphoma in my right lung. i went to the doctor today and he released me back to work. (only locally). Since we live in Florida I don't think I will be getting much work. I will tell you this. Chemo sucks!!!! and yall will be in my prayers. good luck and keep us updated.

Kristi I am so sorry to hear this!! I know only to well how hard it is without insurance. I have never been without until now. And it is extremely difficult to keep up your prescription much less something like this.
I have always looked forward to opening my post and seeing your response there. You will be missed as well as your hubby!! We will keep you in our prayers and look forward to seeing you guys back out here soon!!!!!

As great as all the prayers and encouragement are, nothing beats your statement: been there, done that, and now I'm going back to work.
Priceless.

Hi Kristy, I know of an expediter that was diagnosed with 4th stage lymphoma (SLL) 2 years ago. Today he is in remission and thinking about getting back into expediting. He would tell you it was one hell of a rough trip but a trip that can be made. You need to get envolved with support groups, FAST. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is a wonderful support organization. They also understand that a lack of cash can be a serious problem and are very generous if help is needed. The American Cancer Society can also be helpful. These organizatios have offices in every large city. Your hospital should have a social worker. Ask your husbands nurse to make an appointment for you. As you probably know by now, there are many kinds of blood cancers. They all seem to have their own blog so get on the internet and find the one that pertains to you and your husband. The most important thing for your husband and you is to stay positive and active. Even if it's somthing as simple as doing a picture or crossward puzzle together. There are , literally, new drugs being discovered every day and your blog will have info about them. If you have a question you think I may be able to help with please PM me.

Ok update: today they did a scope on his stomach. Lately he has been having trouble getting solid foods down. The Dr says that the largest mass (9cm in diameter) is push on his stomach.
While they were checking his stomach they did another biopsy. The first one they did was Mon morning and they went in through his groin area and pulled out 3 lymphnodes. They still don't have a accuate diagnoses so they did the second biopys today. Now we play the waiting game.

As soon as we know more I'll let everyone know.

Thank you so much for all the info. I will def start looking into the support groups as well as the other things. Right now since we don't have a for sure diagnoses some of the assistance programs won't help us. But I'm taking everything one day at a time.

We got the diagnoses on Friday. Stage 4 Lymphoma. The Dr isn't giving him very good odds but we are keeping our thoughts positive. The Lord will get us through this.
