So, first of all I would like to thank Slice for posting on Friday. All of this has come on so quickly that we are really still in shock. Jan 16 my wife of 35 years was fine. Had a physical with some blood work and only had a very slightly elevated platelet count. In less than a week she looked 6 months pregnant. On Jan 25th we started trying to get in to see my Gastro Intestinal Doc. We finally got in on Thursday and he ran some tests plus a CA-125 marker. On Friday we were back in to talk and he was discussing Ovarian cancer. The pain got so bad that instead of waiting until the following Thursday for a CT, we pulled it into Monday 2/3. Wound up going to the ER on Saturday to get something for pain and the Doc there ordered the CT. Got the results of these back and with the high CA125 marker he got us back in for a consult on Monday. All of her internals looked good except her stomach on the CT so the rest has been a downhill bobsled run. Tuesday we were in for a sonagram to further check her liver....all good. Wednesday was colonoscopy and endoscopy with only places in her stomach showing. Thursday was pericentisis (sp?) to drain her stomach so that she could get some rest and the prelims from the biopsies came back Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. Friday was the PET Scan and we got back the diagnosis that it was mostly in her stomach with a few cells showing in her abdomen causing the swelling. Essentially that is where we are now and are headed into the next chapter of our lives today. We see an oncologist to discuss treatment. We are both scared but relieved that is is Lymphoma and can be cured.....yes, the doc said cured. I thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts as we push forward into this new experience.

You may see her pop up here, her name is GoVolGal. Trying to get her account started. I'll fill in more as we know.

Thanks again.

Around 2015 my wife was diagnosed with a disease that hadn’t been around since the 1800’s minus one case in the 70’s. Basically was told to live each day not knowing when or if it would hit an organ and take her. Prayer and faith my friend. YHWH has her back and we got yours.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your wife (family), when diagnoses like this come up, it seems life speeds up and goes in slow motion at the same time. Hope she gets her account started, would be a welcome addition.

All, I promised an update when we had one. I have learned that B-Cell Lymphoma can have 3 mutations. Either one of two of these mutations would have pushed us to Nashville to get chemo. She had a mutation but it was the third one that allows her to be treated at home. Some more good news is that she has been moved up the calendar to Monday the 17th instead of Thursday next week. Thank you all for you thoughts and prayers, they are greatly appreciated.
