Happy your back, I know what it can be like with your illness my wife is a cancer specialist nurse which includes oncology and haemotology gives chemo etc
Cool. Well, I was diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma. 6 rounds of R-CHOP and I'm now on my second to last Rituxan maintenance treatment next week. (they are a snap compared to the chemo). I'm sure she'll be very familiar with all of that.
My oncologist is a general hematologist. Office is only a mile from the house next to the hospital. So that at least was easy. They have two oncology nurses and a treatment room that can take 6-8 people at a time (they stick to 3 or 4 it seems to keep things sane). He consults with a non-Hodgkins Lympoma specialist at Yale Smilow Cancer Hospital. I've been in great hands. Full remission now, although it's something that can return. But they say to consider it more a chronic condition. Not curable but highly treatable. Feeling much better these days, physically and mentally.
