My Life With Cancer, “Light Up Like A Christmas Tree” Part 19
I was in Ryan's (Dr. Cole) office when we found out the results of the test from the Pentagon....Nope not it. I was deflated. I had 5 tumors and they weren't an infection. In the immortal words of Captain Jack Sparrow, AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGG. Funny but I really don't remember him ever saying that phrase, gonna' have to research that one.

Back to our story. I was using Ryan's door as a scratching post when he came up with an idea. He asked if my spots itched, which they did like mad, so he ordered in a test. He told me I could only know what it was if it came back positive. GGGGRRRRR, (learned that one from my poodles.)
I waited, about a month or so it seemed actualy, it was less than a week later that he called me into his office. "I have it, come take a look and I'll explain it to you". Ryan loves doing that, if he could every patient would see what is happening to them. Ryan had ordered in a test for Hodgkin's Lymphoma, he showed me how everything from my samples fit Hodgkin's and how they didn't fit B-Cell Lymphoma.
Now there were problems, first my body wasn't treating Hodgkin's like 99% of the people who have it do. The next thing was Hodgkin's is about 80% curable with Chemo and I still wasn't going to do Chemo. I knew there was going to be a big fight now with the doctors at St. Al's Cancer Center. I had to do something and do it fast.
