Dr's Visit 11/15/10

Saw My Oncologist yeaterday and I find myself resistant to blogging about it.He was mainly very technical going over the PET scans showing me where there were lesions and suspected lesions. He stated that I have "Stage 3, Grade 1-2 follicular non Hodgkins Lymphoma." and in passing mentioned that it is not curable. Treatment is based on symptoms and I show only minimal symptoms and therefore it is OK to delay treatment. I didn't press him about the non-curable (I guess I didn't want to know.) My guess (hope!) is that this is just another chronic condition that I just need to live with such as my Diabetes is not curable but is treatable. I still need to go througn a lot of blood work and test to see how/if my cancer is growing. You can go to http://www.cancer.org/ for more information.
