I apologize if I missed anyone in this ping.
While this isn’t the worst we could expect, it’s not the best, either. Still a “90% survival rate” when treated.
I don’t know what stage it’s in, yet. I don’t know if they told him, yet, either. I forgot to ask, but this is my first dealing with cancer this close. I wouldn’t know what to ask, anyway.
They’ve been running tests tests and more tests. He says he’s been poked prodded and stuck so many times he’s getting used to it.
He’ll most likely start the chemo in the next few days. He got the port installed yesterday. He had a bone marrow scan and also a brain scan yesterday. They may end up doing a spinal tap (?) He said the bone marrow thing hurt worse than anything so far. I just hope that it’s in the early stages so it’s not in his bone marrow. I guess he’ll find out the results of that soon.
This is really so surreal. He and Lauren are doing their best to make light of it. Bless their hearts.
I really hope the baby coming will be able to take their minds off this whole cancer thing.
They’ve told him he’s kind of on an extended leave from the Navy till his treatment gets on a schedule. After that, he says it’ll probably be light duty in San Diego.
This is probably the fastest moving cancer there is, so says his doctors. He’s anxious to get the treatment started.
Thank you all for your continued prayers.
Prayers lifted for you all, that God may hold you safe, in his strengthening embrace, FRiend.

Thank you for the update. Glad to hear the doctors have figured it out and are treating him right away. It sounds very hopeful.
Continued prayers for Al to recover quickly and completely in time for him and his wife to enjoy their new baby.
Continuing to pray.
Update prayer ping for babyfreep
Prayers again for your son.
I had Hodgkins (stage 3B) about 20 years ago, and came through it all right after chemotherapy. I also had a portacath installed, because the injections were getting a bit much for my accessible veins to handle. That part was no big deal, IMHO. It went in and came out with no trouble.
As you say, non-Hodgkins lymphoma is likely more serious. But I’ve known of successful treatments. Prayers for a good outcome.
