Biopsy Confirmed!

So after thinking deadly blood clots and myeloma just two days ago - we get the call back from the doctor's office just now and based on the biopsy and scans it is cancer and it is Lymphoma.  YAY - only people in world high fiving each other of lymphoma but so much better odds than myeloma. We won't know the stage until Friday when I go in. And for those freaking out about the MD Anderson appointment - I AM STILL GOING TO MD ANDERSON - I just wanted to be able to bring the full results with me I just needed to postpone the appointment.

Yay - I can kick lymphoma pretty quickly and easily.  Lee asks - but what about the bone stuff??  Shoot - didn't ask was so happy about the good news for a change.  No blood clot in the brain and just lymphoma and I can probably leave toda...
