Just a quick note to say hi! It's been two weeks, and even though there's nothing to report I can't leave everyone hanging!
I'm feeling good and the doctor's are happy. I'm still on house arrest (more or less) and we'll probably take the next T Cell count in a few weeks. Not too hopeful for anything amazing since the last count was 0. I need at least 200 before they start taking away restrictions.
But I must be off... it's the girlfriend's birthday weekend and I have many things to tend to :-)
Till next time!

P.S
Tuesday I'll be at sloan all day for my monthly IVIG (Passive Immune System) expect a longer post then!
This blog documents my treatment as I try to balance life and school while being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The purpose of this blog is to keep my family and friends updated as I undergo treatment for this disease.

Before we get started
I just want everyone to keep in mind a few things as you read these posts...
I Am Faithful
While some may see this as a life altering event, I do not.
I firmly believe that this is simply a struggle that has been placed in my life that I must endure.
When something like this happens, you really tend to question how much you trust God in your own life. As I sat in bed the first night after being diagnosed I said to myself, "Self, you have cancer. YOU have CANCER!! Shouldn't that scare you?" And I searched my heart. I found no fear, I found no worries, and I found no concerns. Cancer is big, but it is no match for God.
I am able to continue in high spirits because deep in my heart I know that God will provide and he will bring me through. He has already blessed me with the greatest care imaginable combined with the family and friends to support me as I continue on this journey.
In Conclusion
I don't want anyone to be worried or concerned for me.
I'm not worried, heck the doctor's aren't even worried! Therefore you shouldn't be either.
The last thing I want to do is scare anyone with my condition.
I'm hoping that through this blog I can put everyone's minds at ease as my treatment continues.
