5121, illness update Posted by Henry Shorr, Thu May-14-09 03:22 PM
Dear Friends
Back in November Mark (SWMB8R) posted on this site that I had a serious illness. After seven years of being cancer free the lymphoma was back. In December I had a tumor in my neck surgically removed and also had a non-operable tumor in my chest. From late December to April 1 I had 19 days of chemotherapy and 8 pints of blood. I recently took a PET scan and a CT scan, which came up negative, sure looks like the chemo worked. Trying to get my strength back right now. I was able to fish four hours this week but my legs were very shaky and my grip was weak.
I thank everyone for the emails, phone calls, and prayers. I could not of made it through treatment without friends.
See you on the water.
Henry
