Q. What exactly is wrong with you?
A. I have follicular lymphoma. You can read about that here.

A. It is localized. All in one place, in my lower spine and right pelvis.
Q. How are you feeling?
A. Very good. At the moment I'm feeling better than I have at any time since August. Let's hope that continues.
Q. Is the Chemotherapy giving you fits?

A. Yes.
Q. What's the best thing about having cancer?
