Sorry to be responding late! Things have been put on hold around here, with Gregory diagnosis of lymphoma.
He was experiencing pain in his shoulders and gut after the new year. After many test and an ER visit we go to oncology.
He has two more chemo treatments in May and then what? Not sure!

Gregory has lymphoma! Defused Bcell, stage 4. He had terrible shoulder, jaw & lower back pain. Couldn’t walk. After many tests, found ourselves referred to oncology!

We like Dr Ye. Very positive about his treatment strategy. 2nd chemo treatment on Thursday. His 6 sessions will end in early June.
