Of course your family is in our prayers.

ya know don't know yet mb. They just did a ct of his chest and he has a huge mass in there and my guess is that 2 morrow they'll do a biopsy on his lymphs on his neck. I think thats how they stage it etc not sure but I think thats how it goes.Yea the 2 are different cancers with huge differences in treatments and everything....not sure yet gonna go see him tomorrow after I call and find out what time the first rounds will be done......just makes me sad for him n my sis...been a heck of a year for all of us.Thanks again folks. ((HUGS))) Steff

;D ;D ;D ;Dthanks you all. Troy has regualr ole hodgkins not non hodgkins lymphoma so that is good. Also since hes so young and strong and very healthy normally he will get blasted with 2 heavy doses of chemo to begin with and the docs have a super positive outloook. Also his doc outta county comes from city of hope the same place that saved my brothers life over 10 years ago. so all the new news is gr8. Thanks again (((HUGS))) Steff

Steff, I know it's better news than it could have been, but I'm sorry he'll have to go through some chemo. I'll keep him and your sis in my prayers. Keep us updated when you can, Susan

Steff- So glad to hear it's the better of the two and chances are he'll bounce right back. My neice has Luekemia and she's been doing Chemo now for almost 2 years..she's been through a lot but you'd never know it. She's only 5-but she's so strong and she just bounces back every month after her treatement. She's almost through and will go on maintenace for a year. I pray that your nephews body responds as well as my Sarah..
tell your sis we're all thinking of Troy and praying for him.. cindy
