Feeling blessed (not a sexual post ;) )
Feeling blessed (not a sexual post ;) ) Research is awesome!! Just got back from my oncologist and my new chemo treatment - 3 pills, once a day - is reducing the lymph nodes with such minimum side effects that I forget I am taking chemo. Two years ago, when I was hooked up to IV's and having my body ravaged by harsh chemicals to reduce the lymph nodes, this drug was in the clinical stages and was finally released for use earlier last year. Without research, I would be back in that room with those same or similar drugs, feeling like crap, possibly losing my hair this time and losing precious time at school. I am eternally grateful that American Cancer Society's Relay for Life contributes to research and am also grateful for the lobbyists who fight for funding. Wishing there didn't need to be a fight - especially since cancer isn't the only disease out there needing funding. Just thought I would share on here to give hope to anyone out there who might be struggling through such an ordeal. |

Eliza, Thank you for your story and inspiration. One can only hope that someday there will be a cure. American Cancer Society does such good. We do not have to wait for the RFL, We can and should donate monthly to help eradicate this disease. Bless you. Keep fighting and never give up.

Dear Eliza, Best of success for your treatment. I had an agressive type of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma myself, got through it with support of my family and wonderful medical professionals. Now I am back to running Marathons! I, too, am very grateful for all the medical advances over the last decades. My best wishes XOXOX
