Met with the doctor today. Lymphoma subtype is GCB (this was good news as it is the higher success rate). There is a second tumor in my neck, but because it’s on the same side and above the shoulders there wasn’t much concern.
We are leaning towards a medical trial that uses a couple newer versions of drugs that help with attachment to something called CD20 and could help prevent further relapse.
Doing this trial will extend the chemo to 18 weeks and we’ll need to be in Houston for a day or two 8-10 times. This additional length hopefully eliminates my need for radiation but we wont know that for a while.
Very encouraging, Tommy Boy. Keeping good prayers and thoughts as positivity continues. God bless and Merry Xmas.

Good call to go there, Tom. In the not so distant future, this will be a memory. Not an awesome one, but still!
