In short here I am at 30 and I have cancer, Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (sp) to be more precise.
I was admitted to the emergency thinking my back was acting up and affecting my chest area only to learn 3 hours later after 4 or so tests that I had a 15cm mass on my mediastenum and a biopsy and week later that I have a form of bone marrow cancer.
These last 3 weeks have been surreal, I've been a fucking guinea pig and treatment for this disease runs 18-30 months and may include some form of bone marrow transplant to increase my odds against relapse.
So far I am reacting very well to chemo and my mass has all but disappeared but now they have to reset my marrow over the next 60 days which will be the hardest part as my immune system will basically be shut down to restart it.
I hope this is the right forum for this, I'm not really sure how anyone can help, I have not taken any MJ of any kind for the last 7 weeks due to my testing for life insurance (the irony here is unparelled to say the least).
I am getting a lot of support from the staff and weed seems on the menu once I am back home going through the building back up of my strength and immune system, I will be pooling all my knowledge and friends have volunteered as care givers in any amount form and quality, I will be discussing it with the pharmacologist once I have a set meeting, for now I am sticking to the treatment.
I am getting excellent care in a special hemo- oncology unit, my job is to keep my head in the game, meditate, my friends and family have been spectacular and supportive and passionate about keeping my spirits high.
My daughter keeps me focused, I miss her and my wife but I get weekly visits from my girl and my family is in almost every day.
I have internet access via a wireless modem and laptop, I will be forgoing all online activity other than research for myself and MJ and I will be using this time to compile a grow book, a project I have always wanted to do.
If I post this here it I because I feel you have all been true friends to me and that I can use all the positive karma and vibes I can get.
Be good to one another and wish me the best, live each day to the fullest and love one another.
Your friend always,
