I've been in the hospital now since Monday. It's pretty damn boring. They did the biopsy Tuesday afternoon. Afterwards, the doctor informed me that, in is his opinion, it was most likely lymphoma. Today was spent mostly waiting to see the oncologist, who came by around 7pm. He informed me that it could take quite a while to get the results from the biopsy, and there wasn't any reason for me to stay in the hospital. The oncologist ordered some more blood tests for in the morning, but then after that I FINALLY get to go home. I did ask him about the treatment outlook and.....it looks like 2-6 months of chemo depending on what the biopsy tells them. That's all I know for now guys. I want to thank everyone who's called, come by, sent flowers, emailed, and left comments. All of it is very appreciated!
Waiting and wainting and waiting.........

keep your chin up. we are all behind you to get better quickly.
That's exactly what it was like when I was in - boring. I had my laptop and just did email/web all day long while they pumped me full of steroids and I just had that horribly metal taste in my mouth the whole time. Blech. Of course steroids are like speed, so I was bouncing off the walls. Luckily I had good friends who stopped in to spread some cheer. :) And you have oodles of support and hugs and good juju directed toward you, which is none too shabby.
Hospitals suck. I'm convinced that they would all be better places in they installed water features & had decent music in every single room. You know, to feel like you're at an Aveda Spa. That would be relaxing and a much friendlier environment! Hope you feel better & I'm sure Mira will lick you back to health once your home!

Hey Zero, hang in there.
We should get together online some time and play some Dawn of War.
i bet you're glad to be home, huh?
wickkett and i are sending tons of pleasant thoughts your way. so, obviously, you'll be fine.
really, i am glad you're doing so well. you know you can email me or something if you need to bitch or vent or anything.
Been watching your progress. Glad you are back home - I hate hospitals and couldn't WAIT to leave them when I had all my surgeries.
I have a friend who is fully recovered from Non-Hodgkins. Let me know if you want his email address. He's been well for YEARS now.
Remember - laughter IS the best medicince. No negative thoughts or people - surround yourself with good vibes all the time. Listen to your doctors, do what they say, but keep in mind holistic healing is where it's at. Good friends, good laughs, good food and a lot of rest.
Will keep my fingers crossed!
No negative people - wait, does that mean I have been voted off the Shady Manor island?
Hey buddy, I hear your bored! LOL Well I've got something that'll help with that. I just need to get it to ya. Nothing like anime to lift one's spirits.
