A poem for Barnaby
Cancer, The Downs and The Ups
My boy, my child, I'm sorry, this journey was for you...
Cancer...
Pounces, snatches, latches on.
It spins you round, throws you up and slams you down.
It robs you, claws you, devours, and overpowers you.
It seizes you and drags you down.
Takes you to a place you never thought you would be found.
Chemotherapy...
Treats you, but beats you, pummels, and thrashes you,
It abuses you, batters you and strips you down. It eats your hair, your strength, your bones, your dignity.
To restore you, it torments you, poisons you, pollutes you to…

F.D.A. Won’t Ban Sales of Textured Breast Implants Linked to Cancer
Dr. Mark Clemens, a plastic surgeon and expert on the lymphoma at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said the disease was linked exclusively to textured implants. He said there were no known cases of the lymphoma anywhere in the world in a woman who had only smooth implants. Some cases had occurred in women with smooth implants, he said, but they previously had textured ones. He described the F.D.A. as “erring on the side of being conservative.”
What Is the Difference Between Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma?
The two forms of lymphoma are marked by a painless swelling of the lymph nodes. Hodgkin lymphomas are more likely to arise in the upper portion of the body (the neck, underarms, or chest). Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can arise in lymph nodes throughout the body, but can also arise in normal organs. Patients with either type can have symptoms such as weight loss, fevers, and night sweats.
Catching My Breath After A Lymphoma Diagnosis
Six years after my cancer battle, I reflect on an experience that I would never have imagined I would have. It has made me look at my life in a different way and I am grateful to still be here, sharing my story with others, as a source of hope.
Lymphoma and the Insipid Victory
The one thing I thought I'd salvage from my cancer ordeal was a new attitude. Like anybody else, I'd heard plenty of talks and read plenty of articles from cancer survivors extoling platitudes about gratefulness and seizing days and reevaluating priorities. It's supposed to be revelatory. It turned out my particular cancer was more miserly than that.

CDC
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma becomes more common as people get older. Unlike most cancers, rates of Hodgkin lymphoma are highest among teens and young adults (ages 15 to 39 years) and again among older adults (ages 75 years or older). White people are more likely than black people to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and men are more likely than women to develop lymphoma.
