Where I've been the last few months

Since late July, I've been in the hospital and just got out a few weeks ago.
Turns out I have cancer. Something called non hodgkin's lymphoma.
I had a growth the size of a softball just outside my stomach and a few smaller growths.

Just going through chemotherapy but yes, they said it shrunk 75 percent after the first chemo

Join the club, my friend. I'm not in any way trying to make light of your situation, but that's just about exactly what happened to me, 16 years out from having a heart transplant. Growth just outside the stomach and everything.

I was diagnosed in 2012, had about five different kinds of chemo before having major surgery, ended up in a clinical trial (which didn't work), and eventually had a stem cell transplant at the end of 2014 after another four kinds of chemo. Just short of three years later, now I'm cured (declared beginning of last year).

I'm not trying to scare you if that's what just happened. My heart transplant made my doctors approach my situation differently at first. Given the results of your chemo that you just gave us, though, it sounds like your doctors are going at your situation pretty aggressively, so that's good. I'm just telling you all of my crap because I want you to know that even with a ****load of complications, I'm still cured. Not just in remission, but cured. The same can (and likely will) happen to you. The whole ordeal led me to write this while it was still happening.

Keep a positive outlook, and hold on to a strong support system, and you'll be just fine. If you need to talk to anyone, shoot me a PM.

All the best to you.

I'll be praying for you, glad that it's been healing.
