Fished the Upper Cumberland Lakes east of Nashville for a few weeks last spring. Had to fly home late April for a scheduled PET scan to make sure the lymphoma was ok. My plans were to fish Clear Lake then fly back to Tennessee. Saw the Dr. for the results May 5th, thing didn’t look good, had a tumor in a lymph node removed five days later. Forget fishing for a while.

I couldn’t believe the lymphoma was back! After 19 days of chemo in 09 and the Dr. telling me it was in remission I figured I was good for another 30 years. From early June I have been at the City of Hope almost every day. Spent four days in the hospital mid July receiving chemo (Puke city) and yes I’m bald again. It’s a long story but I was trying to qualify for a bone marrow transplant and an experimental radioactive drug called Zevalin. I did qualify for the Zevalin and had that Tuesday.. After all the testing I have also qualified for the transplant. I will be entering the City of Hope hospital Labor Day for a four to six week stay.

Brothers that attend church get me on your church prayer lists. I will have a laptop at the hospital but I do not know if I will feel good enough to give a progress report.
