Here are some thoughtful answers to some never-asked-questions:
Q. What exactly is wrong with you?
A. I have follicular lymphoma. You can read about that here.
Q. How are you feeling?
A. Very good. My appetite is good, my energy level is adequate, and I am walking better each day.
Q. How was your first round of Chemotherapy?
A. Uneventful. The first round took 10 hours, and I only had one difficult half-hour during that time. I walked out tired, but was able to drive home OK and rested fine that evening.
Q. Isn't it interesting that tumor and humor rhyme?
A. Yes. I just wish I knew how to exploit that.
Q. Is your walking impaired?
A. Somewhat. My tumor is in my lower back and right pelvis, and it does cause pain on the sciatic nerve, which sometimes makes it difficult to walk. I call it walking with a lymph.
Uncle Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYour positive outlook your ability to make humor in this situation is so encouraging. I liked the last thing about "walking with a lymph." Just want you to know I am continuing to pray for you and you were also lifted up by my church in prayer this past Sunday.
