First Update
Filed in NHL |Hi Family,
Last week I shared with our Board of Counselors concerning some health issues that I am facing. Perhaps it is time for me to share a bit with all of you concerning my health.
About five years ago the VA hospital diagnosed me with CLL. (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.) This is a condition where too many of a certain type of white blood cell accumulate in the body. (CLL usually develops in people who are 60 or older. I’m now 66.) I was placed on “watch and wait” status.
The interesting thing is that my white blood cells returned to normal and have continued as normal over the past few years. They remain normal to this day. But one of my doctors thinks that CLL may have run its course and that I could now have lymphoma.
Monday, November 27th, I am due for a biopsy. A lymph will be removed for lab examination. If it proves to be lymphoma I’ll then be referred to an oncologist who will determine what treatment is to be had.
On the spiritual side, I am doing very well. There is no fear. Whatever the future holds, I am secure.
Anyway, I thought it would be good to share with all of you. Simply let the Lord guide you in whatever prayers He would have you to pray.
The Lord bless you,
Bro. Buddy
