I got a call from my doctor today and he had some good news and bad news for me. Here's the bad news first:
After looking at my PET Scan results my doctor told me I have Stage 3 (not stage 2) Lymphoma. There are 4 stages total - stage 4 being the worst. Because it is worse than he had originally thought, I'll be doing more cycles of chemo than I was initially told. It has now been bumped up to 6 cycles (12 treatments) of chemo, rather than just 2 cycles. That means I wont be done with treatment until around February.
The good news is that there's still nearly a 100% chance of me being cured and I don't have anything to worry about (except for now I'll be bald in the family Christmas pictures...awesome...).
Praying for you Ryan! You have an awesome attitude and God is still in control! Hair...overrated, right?
