My Lymphoma

Photos

On December 1, 2004, I was diagnosed with follicular B-Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.  I have chronicled my "adventure" with Lymphoma in  my blog.   I am one of the fortunate few with lymphoma who can actually see the progress of their treatment.

I was going to make the original pictures from my camera available here, but they were so big and so detailed that ... well, it was just too gross!

Four days after diagnosis.
