About Me

My photo
My name is Samantha, Sammy to many of my family, Sam to my friends. My blog describes the journey I have undertaken so far and the journey I continue to make having been diagnosed with Follicular Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Stage 4 in December 2009. With the exception of surgery at point of diagnosis I have been actively monitored under a "watch and wait" approach and achieved 5 years without treatment and monitoring only last December. My prognosis is approximately 10 years but for every year we watched and waited I have felt positive that this would be extending that prognosis. I am very happily married to Roy and celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last October and we have a beautiful 9-year old son Callum. My Step-Daughter, 20-year old Hayley who lived with us is now at University. Our house is awash with my beloved pets, our 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, "Amber" and "Saffy", "Caboodle" the cat and "Elliott" the Rex rabbit. The opinions on this blog are my own and based on my personal experience.

Lenny Awakes

Lenny (my attempt at befriending the enemy by giving 'it' an identity) my Lymphoma appeared to progress towards the end of January. The signs where not B systems (night sweats, fever, 10% loss of body weight over 6 months etc) as you would expect and are advised to keep watch for, no, it was the enlarged lymph node in my groin which seemed to be growing. This was almost a replay of 2009 when my Lymphoma was first discovered.

Over the course of February I monitored the area myself but when it started to become uncomfortable (the sensation I can only describe as the aftermath of getting cramp) and shooting pains down my leg I knew that Lenny really was on the move.

My 3-monthly review was scheduled for the last week in February, just 1 week away, but I decided to make the call and after discussing the situation with a very helpful Clinical Nurse Specialist, who then referred it to one of the Consultants, it was agreed that I would go in early. Between then and that appointment I had my usual blood tests performed.

A whirlwind then ensued.
