Well, I'm finally going to write about this. In November, my bloodwork for my Nephrologist showed that my kidney function had dramatically deteriorated after months of constant improvement. They thought it was Kidney Stones. An ultrasound showed that my kidneys were somewhat enlarged. A CT Scan showed that there were no kidney stones, however it did show "innumerable nodules throughout my chest, abdomen, and pelvis" indicative of metastasized cancer. A PET Scan, bone biopsy and biopsy of a nodule just before Christmas showed that it was very aggressive lymphoma. I began Chemo on January 27th. I get a new 6 hour infusion of chemo every 21 days (just finished my 2nd last week). I'm pretty optimistic right now. The pain has all but gone and the subcutaneous nodules that were visible have disappeared. Hopefully a few more infusions will knock this out for good. Also on the bright side, my Chronic Kidney Disease is back down to Stage 3 from Stage 5. On the weight side, I'm still in maintenance mode. However, I take Prednisone for 5 days after each infusion so my weight is varying from 185 to 205 depending on whether I'm on the Prednisone or not. I'm not sweating the weight fluctuation, though. Due to the Chemo, my Red Blood Cells are at less than 1/2 the normal minimum which means that exercise is out of the question. Maybe by late summer, I can get back to some semblance of normal life. I hope everyone has a great week.

Wow! Tx!!! I am so glad you shared what you are going through. Your news also looks promising for you ... so happy to hear it, too. My prayers are with you!! We've been going through a bit of stuff here, too, with my husband. Nothing as big as you, but he is fighting to save his foot from a wound that won't heal. (Diabetic). Keep us posted, my friend. (((HUGS!!))))
