time. Because there is no cure for Follicular lymphoma, I will most likely have to endure reoccurance and treatments off and on for the rest of my life. I am hopeful that someday soon a cure will be discovered.
Recently, I decided to become a CL on the Lymphoma/Leukemia forum because I feel a strong need to help those who are going through a similar experience. [Less]

Thanks Mocha! It's always nice to know that someone is thinking of us. I have to admit, I am getting so nervous and scared again....I guess because it's now time to start getting things going, no more holidays to fall back on! Bill is going to see Dr. Paul Hamlin at Sloan Kettering, just waiting for his office to call and schedule. Apparently they do the calling! So this is it. Why am I so scared? I guess it's the unknown and now there aren't any distractions. I am always thinking of you too!! Eileen
