Anita,
Interesting question regarding lymphoma and radiation. Do not have the answer to that. I will inquire with Dr Lin when I see him next after my next CT scan. I contracted the lymphoma 4 years after the initial cancer diagnosis and radical surgery and radiation. But, I will find out.
Kim,
Got your e-mail. Will respond soon on that. Speech is slurred, but if I slow down when I talk I can be understood quite well. I am still on a liquid diet, using blender to mix all kinds of things. I progressed daily taking larger and larger amounts. At first swallowing was difficult, but today I have little problems. Get down on myself some, but have progressed with that as well. Depression was a problem for a while, but I try to think and act on as though nothing has happened to me. I know, sounds strange, but to me it is the only way to go. THINK POSITIVE, ACT POSITIVE, BE POSITIVE.
