Got a great quote from someone on the online support group. He's celebrating his anniversary today -- 8 years ago he got his diagnosis. He, too, has follicular NHL. He talked about some of the thing's he's learned in 8 years, and some things he's come to appreciate. And he gave a great quote from a doctor/researcher, who said, "If we can keep a follicular NHL patient alive for 5 years, we can keep him alive for 50 years." He was talking about all of the treatments available and the ones in the pipeline. Even if things didn't work, they'd be more things to try -- more vines to grab.
Sounds a little depressing -- statistics about survival rates sometimes are -- but I find it really hopeful, especially after my last post about all of the fascinating therapies that are being worked on now.
Enough of that. Have a good time watching this video of Hall and Oates' She's Gone. This must have been even before MTV, given how horrible it is. Not relevent, but fun. (Neither Hall nor Oates has lymphoma.)
That Hall and Oats video is wrong on so many levels. Peter, John, and Catherine could make a much better video and actually play their instruments without the weird penguin hands. (What was that?)

I agree with Mary. These guys make Prince look straight as an arrow. I could never, and still can't remember which one is Hall and which one is Oates. Just when I thought I had blocked out those bad early 80's memories, you have to post something like this.
ReplyDeletePlease, next time you want to post something from YouTube, can you do a search on "greatest hockey hits" or "goalie fights". Please....
