So - was feeling pretty good today. Only one more day of taking the prednisone pills after today. Then...I picked up the "The Lymphomas" handbook from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Jim had picked up during my last chemo session. That sent me into a depression again.
I was reading about the side effects of the radiation treatment. To quote the book - "Radiation therapy has been associated with cancers of the breast, lung, stomach, bone and soft tissues. Often they occur many years after treatment" Grrreeeatttt! So...here you are cruising along a couple of years after you THINK you have gotten over cancer...then BAM.....you get it back because of some treatment you had several years ago. So...when the doctor tells me I am "cured"....I guess what he is really saying is..I just won't have to deal with it for a couple years.
