He was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma in Jan 2001. Then he was in remission for 14 months after going through CHOP Therapy and interferon. I am just devastated that the cancer has now returned. When he was first diagnosed in Jan 2001 - he was in stage 4 of Follicular Lymphoma. He just had a biopsy on his neck and they removed 5 lymph nodes and we got the results that the lymphoma is back. He goes next Tuesday for a bone marrow biopsy. And, they are looking at maybe a bone marrow transplant. I hope and pray that his sister is a match for him. I wanted to know if anyone knows or has gone through a bone marrow transplant. My husband really hates the idea of going through chemo again. But, I am sure that is no option for us. I am looking into Chemo and a supplemental program for him - If they do a bone marrow transplant. Please if you have any info on a bone marrow transplant - please let me know - God Bless Eda B. Wed, 15 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT Hi Eda, My Husband has Myelofibrosis, which is a bone marrow disorder. But he has progressed so fast he can't get a transplant. But I belong to a group that dicusses marrow transplants all the time, I'm sorry I'll write back with the email address, I must be having a brain cramp. Bobbie Bobbie Y. Tue, 28 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT Hi Eda, it's me, Bobbie. The list you need to write to is mpd.net@listserv.acor.org - I hope this helps, they have been a God send to me. My Husband is terminal, and it's hard, but these people have a lot of answers. God Bless you, Bobbie Bobbie Y. Tue, 28 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT Hi Bobbie, Thank you so much for replying. I am so sorry to hear about your husband. Lets pray for a miracle. May God be with you and your husband. I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply, but I have been in another world (I guess). They had changed their minds about doing a bone marrow transplant and are now going to do a stem cell transplant. My husband left yesterday Sunday 2-9 to head to MD Anderson to meet with his new oncologist. I am just devastated that I could not go with him. But, I am needed at home with our children. When he goes for the transplant - I will be there for him. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and if you would like to email me my address is eda_brooks@hotmail.com. It makes it so much easier to talk to someone going through the similar things. There is a lady I had meet on this message board and she is a Godsend. Her name is Brenda and it just makes it so much easier to talk to someone. God Bless. Love, Eda Eda B. Mon, 10 Feb 2003 00:00:00 GMT
