About 3 months ago my wife was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, the tables were turned and I was now the caregiver.
Fortunately the diagnosis of B Cell, indolent marginal zone lymphoma was very treatable.
Now, 6 weeks after 4 infusions of Rituxan (we need something like that for Bladder Cancer), neither PET Scans, blood chemistry or "flow cytology" show any sign of disease. While they hesitate to call it a cure, it is a full remission. There will be followup of course. We were told if it ever does come back they will use the same treatment (or whatever new stuff they have) to knock it back down again and it would be just as effective.
So take that, cancer!! You couldn't get to me so you attack my wife? Now we've beaten you twice! Begone!!
