Good news (I think)

While we don't know the flavor (lymphoma seems to have twice as many as Baskin-Robbins), the oncologist did tell us today that Beth has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. That's good; if you have to have the Big C, might as well have one that is curable. We should know the biopsy results in a day or two.

She's been moved over to the oncology wing. Nice corner room, big couch for me to crash on, and she didn't divorce me when I presented her with her laptop. When I left, the tussinex and the lortab were kicking in and she was sliding head-first into la-la land. Get some sleep, baby. It's not going to be a fun few weeks, but you'll get through it.

This is awesome news BC!!! While no lymphoma is curable at least a non-Hodgkins type can be sent so far back into remission it looks and smells like it is cured! What hospital is Beth at? Maybe an address so we can send a card. I know here the oncology ward doesn't want flowers due to some bug issue.
