Not the best weekend to find out Mr. Elehhhhna has lymphoma....

[elehhhhna]

what with our contemporaries dropping dead right and left.

Looks like maybe slow-growing, fairly easy to knock into remission...more info to come later this week.

We couldd use some serious du vibes here in TX.

xo,

Elena

not nagging -- just hoping!

[shadowknows69]

16. Oh at least a dozen in the works in my head.

Need to stabilize some things in my life before they'll be able to make it to paper though. You just worry about yourself and reserve your hope for where it's needed most.

I will send you good vibes and blessings and healing the best way I know how.

[elehhhhna]

14. me neither. just bounce some goodwill this way off the moon tonight, please...

we'll get it.

[tavalon]

58. I'm not Christian myself, but praying is easy

Just speak your hopes, fears, intentions, whatever, to the sky, the sun, the moon or whatever. No fancy words needed, just feeling. In other words, you'll do fine, my slightly north of me sister.

I'm all practiced up after my last two months, so I'll be praying for him myself.

[asjr]

9. Positive thoughts are on the way!

[tularetom]

10. Good karma comin atcha

Stay positive, things are gonna work out fine.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

[Ilsa]

21. I'll chip in some good vibes for light and healing for Mr. elehhhhna!

I turned 51 today and all of these 50 year olds' deaths have me freaked out. And Farrah Fawcett was from my former hometown. I hope for the best for you and your DH!

[Laelth]

18. Wow. That is terrible news.

Sending all the good vibes I can.

:dem:

[DFW]

19. Been there, done that (and made it to the other side)

My wife went through a year of hell with cancer, but that was in 2001.
Here's spreading the positive vibes around so that you can share in them!

[Sydnie]

20. Wishing you the best health care and a speedy recovery for him

Take care of you too!

:hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Oh no! I hope everything will be ok! *hugs and healing vibes*

[The River]

23. I Just Had One Removed

Confined to left leg lymph. Dr. said if I had to have a "cancer",
this is the one to have. Easy to fix, easy to treat.
Good luck!

[elehhhhna]

29. Hubs has it in the spleen & so far no symptoms but pain in the side...

His hematologist said the same thing! "This is the one you want, if you have to have it."

Also said he thinks they're one to two years away from a cure.

Creepy & scary though, yanno? We haven't used the L word or the C word with t he kids (15 & 13) --there's time to give them more info when we have it.

CONGRATS on your successful surgery!

[kestrel91316]

24. Lymphoma can be very treatable. I have a client who has had it for YEARS.

Probably decades. He has had a few rounds of chemo, and is fine now AFAIK. I think he's about 70 by now.

[ismnotwasm]

25. Best thoughts and wishes

Vibes, prayers-- whatever form Good Will takes, I hope for you and yours

[CrownPrinceBandar]

26. Good vibes to your family, Elehhhhna.

[TheCowsCameHome]

27. Please know that we are with you. You WILL win this battle

Hugs.

[Ikonoklast]

28. Putting out vibes for the mister.

Tell him we will burn a candle for him.

[DemReadingDU]

30. my mom had non-Hodkins lymphoma

It is very treatable.
Perhaps the leukemia and lymphoma society website could be useful
http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls

[The River]

35. Thanks for the Link

Hadn't ssen that site yet.

[latebloomer]

39. The discussion boards there are very good

People are knowledgeable and supportive, and there's a caregivers' group as well.

Elehhhhna, I'm recovering from leukemia, had a stem-cell transplant- PM me with any questions. They are making a lot of progress with the blood cancers.

[texastoast]

31. Good local vibes coming your way

My MIL had it and it was in remission for years. She lived to a ripe old age. May your path be the same.

[fascisthunter]

32. sorry.... best wishes to you and your husband

[byronius]

33. Vibing.

[LeftishBrit]

34. Best thoughts to him!

[lunatica]

36. Wishing you and the Mr all the best of health and happiness

[mod mom]

37. Sending some strong positives vibes!

[roguevalley]

38. my dad had the slow stuff. you can kick it. Just eat. Now. often. put on the

pounds. take ensure when the treatment starts and if you do chemo, get the anti-nausea stuff. they can give it. make sure you eat and take care. you can kill the slow stuff. Don't EVER take worst case scenario as the only path.

[Fumesucker]

40. Good vibes to you elehhhhhna.. and to your DH too.. n/t

[CrispyQ]

41. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news.

Sending good vibes your way & hoping for the best for you & your family.

:hug:

[latebloomer]

42. PS- I see you're in Texas

MD Anderson in Houston is one of the top hospitals for this!

[tekisui]

43. I wish the mister a speedy recovery and for you family to be comforted

in this tough time. Be well. :hug:

[noiretextatique]

44. never a good time for that diagnosis

but the prognosis sounds positive. we have a cancer forum here where you can find lots of supportive people who have battled the beast. there are a few of us here...members of the club no one wants to join :hug:

[madmax]

45. Best to you and your husband

My son was diagnosed with lymphoma after being misdiagnosed for 2 years. He was givin a 30% chance of survival. The scan lit up like a Christmas tree. He underwent 6 months of chemo instead of the usual 3 months.

That was 6 years ago. He's still kicking - smokes like a chimney, eats shit that would kill a mountain man. Take heart, we're all here for you and Mr. elehhha.

[renate]

46. I'm sorry... what a shock

Thank goodness his prognosis is so good, but still... scary it must be.

Best wishes to you both. :grouphug:

[niyad]

47. sending good thoughts and healing vibes your way.

[PCIntern]

48. I hope it goes well....

my brother, 12 years older, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma about 3 years ago. He has only recently had to undergo chemo and it has been a rocky, but so far, reasonably successful, road.

I wish only the best outcome for you both.

PC

[Bunny]

49. Sending vibes your way.

I hope everything goes well. :hug:

[NashVegas]

50. Oh, I'm So Sorry

This truly sucks.

Make every day the best day, no matter what.

[Cha]

51. Love to you, elehhhhna and your

Mister:loveya:

[tavalon]

52. I promise you there is no good weekend to get that information

But you know that, of course. I hope the rest of the information comes quickly and is better news. I just came off of a cancer scare so I kind of know the hell you've just stepped into.

I'm so sorry. :cry: :hug:

[girl gone mad]

53. Sneding some karma your way...

and I actually have some, for a change.

:)

ed: but I still can't type.

[dave29]

54. Good vibes :)

keep smiling

[patrice]

55. All good things to both of you. Other than therapies, live your lives like the lymphoma is not

there.

[tavalon]

59. That is both the best and some of the hardest advice to take

Been there, occasionally achieved it. Mostly not to my detriment.

[patrice]

63. Me too . . . the point is to not miss your life while you're fighting for it.

My first husband had only 3 months, so we never had a chance to figure this out. My second one got about 18 months and that's exactly what he did. Nothing much changed right up to the day that he passed on.

[tavalon]

69. It really is great advice

I just found personally that I sucked at it.

[patrice]

74. It was my husband who made it so, not I. nt

[Solly Mack]

56. Good vibes to the both of you!

[nashville_brook]

57. seriously good vibes from orlando!!

[Junkdrawer]

60. Best wishes....Stay Positive...

:hi:

[BrklynLiberal]

61. Sending white light and positive energy your way....
