Cancer...It's Back!

Well leave it to me to be the poster child for "drama queen."  On October 12, 2008 (obviously 2 or anything divisible by 2 is not a good number for me!) I was told that my Lymphoma had come back and it is apparently decided to throw a party throughout my body. I was told 6 1/2 years ago that this is NOT what I wanted to happen.  Being the rebel that I am, apparently the Lymph node's are rebels too and went wild.

Here is the low down, this nasty little, unwanted party has spread to my groin, abdomen, chest and right shoulder.  They are mildly active and too many to count.  Which tells me that the party has only just begun.  There is nothing the doctor's can do until they spread and/or become more active. Considering my last bout with chemo and near death experiences, I'm not inclined to jump back into that medical party chair.

After a few panic attacks, several bottles of wine and a pity party or two, I think I am somewhat settled with the new diagnosis and stronger sense of humor.  My doctor's main concern is that none of my past scans have ever shown more that one or two tumors and they always go away.  My main concern is, "Why me?"  Anyone can tell from this site that I have had enough drama in my life.  I think my plate is full!  On the other hand, I always believe you are never given what you cannot handle.  I am so full of shit, I even surprise myself sometimes...ha!
