I have really bad news...

So sorry to hear that. Cancer is a scary word, but it is so much more treatable than in the past. The treatments arent pleasant, but people respond differently. My dad had cancer twice (once was non-Hodgkins lymphoma) and my mom had cancer once. They are both in good health now. My mom had the same scenario, the cancer was stage one and they did chemo just in case. Better to be safe, keep us updated.

Sorry, to hear that pumpkin. I know you and Mark are both strong enough to get through this. Just remember you can always come here for support through hard times. I wanted to call you punkin, but I know how you hate sammich, etc, and I didn't want to make you mad. Gotta keep it up to your standards!!

P2 - so sorry to hear your news. While you have a tough road ahead of you, it sounds like you have a very positive outcome to look forward to. My very best to both of you.

oh, man. p2, I'm so sorry. the fact that it was caught early and is stage one sounds very promising.

I'm so sorry to hear this P2.

P2, I'm very, very sorry about this!I know we snap back and forth at each other all the time but I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Fortunately, Hodkins Lymphoma is one of the "easier" cancers to cure. I certainly don't consider any cancer easy for anyone.M's half brother had blastic lymphoma (totally different type) when he was 14 and didnt make it but that was 20 years ago and he was only the third bone marrow transplant at that time. Great progress has been made since then and I'm sure Mark will be fine after treatment.Canada has been tremendously successful in developing new treatments for cancer and many are used here at Sloan Kettering, NYC top cancer treatment hospital.I will say a prayer for Mark, just to keep his spirits up. I'm sure he will come through with flying colors.btw, I wondered why you were off yesterday, I was just itching to fight with someone

Haha, thanks oot. So far, he's really impressed (as am I) with how well he's been treated and how quickly things have progressed. As I'm sure you know, our health care system has its flaws in speediness - it can take up to 6 months to get in to a specialist. But things have progressed very quickly, so it's been good that way. We are very lucky that it's caught so early, etc. I took yesterday off to go to the doctor with him, his appointment wasn't until 3 yesterday afternoon, but I took the whole day off...I still haven't mastered knotting on my bb yet. I wanted to be here, that's for sure.

P2, I'm so sorry to hear the news. I know I'm late to the thread but you two will be in my thoughts and prayers. You have all my good vibes being sent your way!

I hope you're doing ok, P2. That is terrible news, but I'm so glad that he picked up on it early and had it checked out. Thinking of you and Mark.

P2 I'm so sorry, about the cancer and the wedding. I wish the two of you the best, knock out that cancer.

Also just wanted to add: One of my friends was diagnosed last year with stage 3 hodgkin's lymphoma. She's underwent treatment for 8 months or so, and is just about to have another round of treatment. Her cancer is pretty much gone, so this should be the last treatment she requires. She's continued to study and maintain her lifestyle despite the treatments she's undergoing.

I am so sorry to hear this. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
