Last October, I noticed that a lymph gland in my groin was swollen. That was the beginning of a roller coaster ride of scans, surgery and biopsies. Come Christmas Eve, I received the news that Prostate Cancer was present, and in January, heard that it had been joined by Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
The good news is that the Prostate Cancer is at an early stage, and only active monitoring is called for. The bad news is that the Lymphoma needs a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy – and I start treatment this coming Friday; six cycles of treatment, each lasting three weeks.
It’s going to be a bumpy ride – the seatbelt is fastened.
The Dutch Health Service – doctors, nurses and healthcare workers – have all been very good; caring and competent. I’m optimistic about the outcome.
