The Roller Coaster Ride

Now that I have finally been able to slow down the ride of the past 5 days, a recap might be helpful:

Last Thursday, August 20, in preparation for B's and my trip to Ireland, I went to visit my doctor for a prescription for what I thought might be walking pneumonia. It turns out that after extensive testing, two biopsies, two hospital stays, enduring pokes, prods and blood draws, I have a very large tumor in my chest that is presumed to be Hodgkin's lymphoma.

At this point in time, the doctors and pathologists are still not 100 percent positive as to the diagnosis, but are leaning toward it being malignant and being a form of lymphoma. I will be enduring some form of chemotherapy for treatment.
