The oldest competes in dance. We love in NJ.My name explains it all. This is my story:
In Aug 2004 the day before dd's 1st bday I was diagnosed w/ HD lymphoma. I went through treatments until the end of the year and the first two months of 2005. In July 05 I returned for a check up a little was still there and it spread. In Aug 05 I was diagnosed w/ persistant HD. In Sept after Hurricance Katrina I ended up in Houstan at MDAnderson where I would undergo another regimen of chemo and a stem cell/bone marrow transplant. They told me 6mths- 1yr before I would have my transplant and be able to go home again. Well after two treatments of the new regimen and a week in ICU on life support I proved them wrong. In dec 05 they prepared me to harvest my stem cells and and I returned to the hospital for another round of chemo for the transplant. On Jan 4 2006 I had my stem cell transplant. On Jan 17th I was released from the hospital. On Feb 5th I was released to retun home to my family. I also join this forum in 2006.
My name is Liz and I have 4 sons!My 4th was born after I joined the DIS (well, my 3rd was too but I knew he was a boy before joining). So it's a good thing he was another boy or I would have had to change my username.

What a great story. I love to hear when people don't give in to the BIG C and kick deaths _ss!!!!!
Congratulations!!! I, too, am a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma back in May 1988. (Wow!! It'll be 19 years next month.) I was 22, and I also went to MD Anderson. I even remember my patient number. Congratulations again.
I was about a month shy of my 23rd bday when I found out and I was seeing a cardiologist while I was in the hospital from being sick I lost so much weight that he thought I was 16.
