Question:
John, What is the reason for your tests? Best wishes to you. Nance T.
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Well I am definitely a newbie at this cause I just had my first CT Scan, and am off Monday for a bone scan. I guess what you have to get used to is having your life revolve around clinics and appointments. Oh well life does go on. On the 19th I have the big appt with the treatment staff and then we make up our minds as to the course of action. anyway it is an interesting time of ones life.

Good luck John – my thought are with you. You sound as if you have got the right attitude, that’s something. Yes, your life will change, and that takes some getting used to. All the best for the 19th. Eve from England

Yes. Unless, of course, you are amazingly rich. Then the medics are there when *you* want them. Oh well life does go on.
Who’s been telling you *that*? On the 19th I have the big appt with the treatment staff and then we make up our minds as to the course of action.
Who? What? What are you being (putatively) treated *for*? anyway it is an interesting time of ones life.
God, isn’t it just? Are you looking down the barrel of a one-off (set of) decision(s), or is this something that may come back later? (On the 12th, I start chemo for relapsed indolent non-Hodgkins lymphoma. This is the second relapse. It’s kind of interesting to see if this is the one where the cancer has developed a generalised resistance, but it’s an excitement I could easily force myself do live without (with indolent NHL, there’re no guarantees, but a person can hit lucky in terms of relapse rate/severity). FWIW, I found that it doesn’t help to borrow problems from tomorrow ("sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof"), but that’s no reason to stop studying the probabilities and trying to make the most of them.
