since being diagnosed with stage 4 MCL in March of this year, I have received 6 cycles of R-chop , 2 cycles of RICE to no avail.I have just completed my 1st cycle of ESHAP, 3 are scheduled, a node in my neck at time of being admitted was the size of a golf ball after 2 days of ESHAP the node was pea sized and at time of discharge 6 days later was virtually undetected visually or manually.....A good sign?..I hope so, lot of rough days, but through it all my attitude and Faith keep me strong and also I cannot neglect to mention an incredible support group that cares and loves me from my wife, family and children and not to mention perfect strangers on this site who lift me up with their words of encouragement and positive attitude. please do not disregard the power of Prayer , words of encouragement and yes a positive attitude.

P.S my good thoughts and prayers go out to each person and their families
