@psjacunski Thank you for sharing :-) Still in remission and doing great! My last check up at M.D Anderson was good but I've got one within the next two months so I'll get back to you soon
@ozmonto Well, at first they thought it could be leukemia, but then a proper bone marrow biopsy at M.D Anderson found burkitts to be a concrete, set in stone diagnosis. I went in at stage 4 and there was no sugar coating. they told me I was barely into the woods as far as getting better and that it was a rare, aggressive lymphoma so they needed to attack it aggressively. They estimated 6 rounds of chemo until i was out of the woods but got done in 5 and all is good
glad to hear your in remission.i've had bunch of these as well i actually lost count but i think its somewhere around 30 i have acute lymphoncytic leukemia and i have been in remission since dec 08'. i was also wondering if u have had any back problems i've got three slipped disk and im not sure how i got them doc. said it wasnt from them but still can't help but wonder if it was also i never had sat up and had mine done always had to lay flat and i seen a bandage is that from a bone marrow?
@mikeymike6262 i've only had about 8 of these done and as far as back issues after i haven't had any. the bandage on my lower back was from a botched bone marrow biopsy that was done at utmb and it kept on bleeding out. i was transferred to m.d anderson and that's where they fixed me up. how are your'e treatments going
@bposmedia its going good i got all my weight and hair back i dont do much chemo anymore just pills and a LP every 3 months im on what they call maintenance which is just low dose's of chemo so low that i cant even tell that im getting chemo. i live in MD and i go too university of maryland medical center UMMC which is a awesome place they take real good care of me. how is your treatments going i hope there not to bad
