Update December 21
I introduced B1 to my oncologist saying it gave me 5 years of control.
He said he did not recall that in his college days.
Today, oncologist in Las Cruces , Memorial Cancer Center said the chemo therapy I received at Gerald Champion Cancer in Alamogordo was not necessary.
The Memorial Cancer Center oncologist said chemo therapy was not necessary. There was no cancer in the organs or bone marrow. Yes, the cancer is appearing as a skin rash. I will have this life long. I will monitor for any future outbreak other than the skin. Occasionally I will have bloodwork to check for cancer cell activity. The rash is controlled with medicated skin cream.
Update Nov.10: my biopsy came back positive for T-cell. My chemo was not beneficial.
My T cell lymphoma.
"PTCL is potentially curable with chemotherapy. The median progression free survival (PFS) following CHOP chemotherapy is 12 to 14 months. Approximately 20 to 30% of patients will be alive, and disease free, 5 years after the completion of treatment. "
I'm so sorry to hear this Roy. I am praying for you.
