A close relative of mine was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in his mid 50s…he was treated and lived another 30 years (in remission)…the treatment was tough, but it worked. May God protect and heal you.

I can see in the comments you already have a lot of cancer testemonys, so.... here's one more. I had NHL, of all places, in the corner of my eye. It was a very agressive form of L... I mean, Hulk, Hitler speech agressive. Apparently, those are more treatable and curable than the slow ones. yes I had chemo (3 out of 4 rounds) and then radio. Yes, I lost my hair.... hey, it grew back curly! And i t was 14 and a half years ago. So, stay strong and alert to everything the doctors will say and don't leave doubts inside. Good luck.

@@bibliosophie No, it won't be easy. A couple of years ago I got through 2 simultaneous cancer diagnoses with a tumor the size of a melon. It was a lonely, sometimes frightening and unmooring, radical but ultimately enlightening experience that I am grateful to have had (and am still having in some ways). At times I was giddy with all I was learning in myriad spheres, at other times I had to shut right off and not read, not analyze, not process, not think. Sporadically, I had to let go of the realist and get into the head of a magical thinker and be ok with that to be ok. More than anything, I had to let go of being what I think of as the perfect patient and be an empathetic, kind, gentle nurse to myself. If you need something, Sophie, don't hesitate to let us know. There are hordes of real people out here who care about you and would like to help you through this time in any way possible. <3

This video showed up on my feed and I'm incredibly sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. Wishing you the best. The Vets Daughter is a depressing read, if you want to read something else by Comyns I could not recommend The Skin Chairs more highly, more upbeat but also unusual. Her debut novel, Sisters by a River is also great.

I was given 3 months without treatment and three years with treatment for mantel cell lymphoma, non hodgkins also. That was 11 years ago. Cancer sux . I had the bone marrow transplant. I've since helped my mother get over her lymphoma, too. If you need any advice or just need someone to let you know what to expect or pitfalls to avoid during treatment, reach out . I'd gladly give you my info to contact me privately. Good luck, and I'm sorry you are going through this

Sending you so much love and strength Sophie. I survived HER2+ Breast Cancer almost 10 years ago when I was 33. A huge comfort for me during that time was just how far medicine has come and that so many cancers are survivable now (echoing what you were saying about your diagnosis). Wishing you as much comfort as possible during this time. Also, thank you for your thoughts on Our Evenings! I fully intended to finish it before it's release date and then life happened, so it's been on hold for almost a month. I'm looking forward to finishing it soon. I agree that some of the passages are a little long, but I also kind of don't mind that. The writing is just good and that goes a long way.
@bibliosophie3 күн бұрын
thank you for the good wishes and sharing your own experience! i’m also very much comforted by how “normal” it is to survive my category of cancer. it doesn’t mean an easy road, but it means a road with a probable happy ending. i’m glad you’ve enjoyed our evenings so far. the atmosphere is very engrossing, so if you’re not put off by its sort of formless length, all the better!

NHL and AML survivor here, that sucks dude. 13 years later and I still have PTSD and late effects from chemo AND i’m also doing great. No one can tell you’re gonna be fine, and you probably won’t be for at least a little while. But I hope you got people you can lean on to help you move through it.

i’m sorry about the various after effects of chemo still - it’s a hell of thing to put a body through. i definitely have good people in my life, which i know will help massively, and i’m just taking things as they come. i know the treatments will get harder as i get weaker, but i’ve been very happy at least to have a generally very easy first month. i’ll take all the little victories i can get!
