may not be on for the next little while

as the title says, my stepdad was diagnosed with lymphoma last week, and now they wont even allow him to go to work, im going to try to help out my mom with this in any way, unfortunatly my stepdad is only 43, and my mom has a mortgage and bills to pay.

That sucks man, sorry to hear that.

Holy crap, that is terrible news. Sorry dude, good luck with everything. Hope everything else turns out better.

I've got a friend that was diagnosed with lymphoma a couple of years ago. He was about 45 at the time. It was caught early and after undergoing some chemo treatments he is doing great. Hope everything goes as well for you and your family.

Sorry to hear that. Seems they can come up with a 'miracle' drug for everything under the sun from not sleeping to getting a 4 hour stiffie, but yet some of the basic health issues that have been around for eons still have no solution :disappoin

That sucks. Do you know what lymphoma he has?

not yet, sounds like it may be an advanced form of hodgkins, somewhere around stage 3

found out on wednesday that he has stage 4 follicular lymphoma, its spread to 5 different parts of him body and his bone marrow, by the sounds of it, the chemo just prolongs life and that he has 10 years at the most, because as of right now, the is no effeictive cure

Sorry to hear that dude.

we're all here for you if you need anything.

wow thats bad...i deal with that stuff enough at work to have to hear about my firends going through it.....im sorry to hear that man, hope u all get through this the best u can.

It's going to be a hard road for you and your family. Like Chris said we will be here for you if you need someone to talk or type to. .
