my husband jim came back from a deployment in kuwait in the spring of 02. he came back with NHL mixed Tcell, Bcell, stage 4 B. he could barley stand on his feet and he still did his job. they also found prostate cancer. he was first treatet with CHOP, but after a few months, he relapsed. he got rituxon and ICE. in spring of 2003 he had his stemcelltransplant (his own). no relapse. the prostatecancer was treatet with hormones and surgery. there where some complications, he had a subdural hematoma. he is still cancerfree as of today. he tires easy, but is still able to work part time. there where hard times and sometimes i wanted to drive against a wall, i was so stressed. after all this was over, he asked me if i ever thought he would die. my answer was no. i am forever gratefull to the wonderfull health professionals and the united states army for taking care of my husband and our family. i think what helped me a lot was talking to other cancerpatients. it is not easy at times but there is always hope. i will pray for you all, god bless
