My last lymphoma blog

As I write this final piece, I want to leave you with some suggestions to live by if you have lymphoma. Be proactive. You are in charge of your health. Your doctor is merely the vehicle to get you where you need to go. If he won’t agree to what you want, find a new mode [...]

Time to pass the baton

When I first started writing this blog in March, I wasn’t sure how many I could write before I hit that proverbial wall. Well, I have hit the wall, and it has become a struggle to strive to write pieces that I feel are worthy of your attention. In the case of lymphoma, I don’t feel [...]

Lymphoma and cholesterol

Up until four years ago, my cholesterol was 152. It’s the one thing I have never been concerned about with my labs because high cholesterol doesn’t run in my family, and it has tested normal or even low all my adult life. This all changed after being treated for lymphoma although I never connected the [...]

A promising new drug for lymphoma and other blood cancers

This seems to be good news for a possible future treatment for lymphoma. On November 10, at the 24th Annual Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium, Dr. Susan O’Brien of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, announced Phase I clinical data on GX15-070, an agent produced by Gemin X Biotechnologies. Currently in Phase 2 clinical trials, [...]

Serum sickness

One of our readers recently commented (and thanks for sharing) that she experienced something called “serum sickness.” Since I’d never heard of this, I was curious as to what this is, and thought that perhaps others had experienced the same thing, but maybe didn’t have a name to put with it. This is what I [...]

Rituxan protocols

There have been a few questions raised about the use and administration of Rituxan (rituximab) and why there seems to be so many different protocols concerning maintenance Rituxan. I talked to someone at the medical communications health desk at Genentech and asked why some people get infusions four times every six months for two years, while [...]

Fat could hurt ability to ward off cancer

I read an article by the Associated Press (AP) based on a report published in the journal of National Academy of Sciences. I thought the article was interesting, especially for those of us who have lymphoma because our B cells aren’t dying. When that happens, the process is known as apoptosis or cell death. Apoptosis [...]

Genetic exams and cancer

Genetic exams are not just for those who want to find out if they have some bad genes or a disease they might pass on to their offspring. Unfortunately, most of the time, genetic testing is performed only after something bad happens. The tests are done to see if one or both people carry the [...]

It’s lucky to have lymphoma?

When I first learned I had lymphoma, I thought I was a goner. Like most people, I often heard it said that once a cancer spreads to the lymph nodes, it’s time to pick out your burial plot. I figured that since I had a cancer of the lymphatic system, that I must have about [...]
