:flowerforyou: In May of 2011, I had a car accident one week and the following week, I was told I had one of the most aggressive cancers out there. I went to see my Endocrinologist one week for blood work to check my thyroid levels and the next week went back with a golf ball knot on the left side of my neck. I was referred to an ENT Dr. who happened to be one of the best in my area and he wanted to do a biopsy, but I was afraid, so I let this go on for a couple weeks more and then had that done. Non conclusive as the CT scan said the same thing. I had this nodule removed the end of April and was told I had to see an Oncologist. I didn't want to believe I had cancer, but it was true. I had the lowest rate, first stage of large B cell lymphoma and it was contained in one strain of lymph nodes in my neck. I took a 3 chop of chemo and 15 treatments of radiation which I feel now was not necessary. I am going into my first year now and will see the Oncologist tomorrow. My blood work has been good thus far. I have had issues with skin, numbness in hands and some other things crop up but all in all I am thankful to be alive. I am a determined person and I know the good Lord healed me. I know my work here isn't done yet and I try to share with others that it isn't just a freak thing I didn't die. Cancer can be a scarey thing, but I never thought I would die of this. These treatments do various things to your body and each person is different. I try to eat right, walk every day and keep my attitude right. It doesn't have to be a death sentence. Take care and be patient with yourself. Your body has gone through a tremendous change with having those powerful drugs pumped into it. Do something good for yourself today and share your experience with other people who have had cancer. It helps. Have a wonderful day and be good to yourself. You only have the one body you were given and it will service you well if you take care of it. Thanks for letting me share, Judy in Virgina
