I'll keep you in the daily prayer. What a battle, but you're not in this alone, Godspeed Striker1!

"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

Stryker,

Have you looked into any of the newer immunotherapies they are coming out with for Lymphoma?

CAR-T (gene therapy) was discussed. Might be an option. Also a slim possibility that a specialist could remove the tumor (met with him down at IU last year), although it’s a very risky surgery.

As is the case with high-grade blood cancers, tumor removal may not necessarily remove the other dormant cancer cells, but the stem cell transplant might help to resolve that.

Overall, prognosis for individuals with refractory (intractable) tumor(s) is poor.

I have a PET scan this Wednesday. Feeling a little nervous, as I’ve had some new back and abdominal pain.

Update: I have an intractable tumor. So now we’re looking at clinical trials and a possible second transplant.

Latest: going to see the docs at Rush this Thursday. The plan is to do more, stronger chemo, possibly in-patient, 2-4 days at a time, then 2-3 weeks recup at home. After 4-5 months, recheck PET scan, and then another stem cell transplant.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Prayers offered up for complete healing.

As a cancer survivor I know something of what you are going thru. Important to stay positive as others have already said.
