TheCyborgNinja 03/26/18 4:03:38 PM #93:	Doom_Art posted... Youngster_Joey_ posted... I thought you were told it was treatable and not that advanced like a month ago? It's still a curable form of cancer just at Stage 4 the prognosis is more negative. Means it spread to another organ. In this case my lung. The original diagnosis was just "Lymphoma" Then it became "Hodgkins Lymphoma" Now today I got the specific staging My dad had stage 3. It was almost at his lungs, but not quite. Some crappy doctor basically said it was nothing but he got another opinion a while later after it got worse, iirc.... I think he was given a 25% chance to die then, but science has gotten much better at dealing with it. Hopefully it goes well. Either way, I do not envy your journey.

I'm in partial remission after a year of treatment, and I don't have any lingering symptoms from the treatment or the cancer (save for some pain every now and again). You've been in most of the topics I've made and have been great in all of them. Thank you for the support through this. I feel kinda embarrassed saying this but I can't recall what cancer you had? Very happy to hear you're in remission though (even if it is partial that's still great) Slimfizzle posted... Sorry to hear that dude.

I'm sorry to hear about that. I can't fathom horrible doctors like that. I hope he got the treatment he needed eventually though? And yeah it's gonna be fucking rough for the next couple months.

Iunno at the risk of sounding pathetic or corny this is why I think this place is special, for me at least. It's why I keep coming here over any other place on line. The community is great and when it comes to it you're all so lovely and supportive. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.

FFS don't say stuff like this if you don't understand Oncology. It depends entirely on what kind of lymphoma it is. Even Stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma has an excellent prognosis. Cancer is not a singular disease. "Lymphoma" is no more specific than "infection". A lot depends on the cell line, the specific mutation, expressed chemotherapy targets on cell surfaces, etc. The stage is simply related to how far the cancer has spread, not how "dangerous" the cancer is. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] <cite>Coffeebeanz posted [p:898551343] in My cancer ...
