I'm sorry, Calli. Hodgkin's is better, in the sense that it's pretty much licked, but the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are often quite treatable. Fuck cancer!
I'm glad your Dad got home, ND. Strength and peace to you and your family.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And depending on the type of NHL, people often live for years and years. Granted, sometimes that means treatment, some remission, some more treatment, some more remission, etc etc, but...And as I said, email me--there are some studies going on that are in things that are already approved, that are hella expensive, that if he's eligible, I know several doctors who were like "Hey, if I had it, this is what I'd take". Depends on what kind he's got, but.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Peace to you and your family, Drew.
