Five Years Later

5-Year Selfie in Times Square on the Q Train

My lymphoma adventure began five years ago, on July 10, 2013, when what I thought would be a routine doctor appointment lead to a chest x-ray, CT scan, and a diagnosis of large B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since I don’t have much news, I’ll share a few random thoughts.

A year ago, today, I posted my progress, and officially came out publicly. I had pretty much been living as out, and wanted to put any question on that front behind me, so I could live the life I want. The support from my family and friends has been wonderful and means a lot.

I started this blog with the goal of helping others by sharing my story. As I continue on my road to recovery, several friends have reached out with news of their own diagnoses, and questions about my experience with treatment. I’m glad that I was able to support them in some small way by sharing my story, and send love and healing to them and their loved ones.

I continue to do well, and will celebrate five years of remission in January. Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to a summer of traveling, friends, and working on my house.

Thank you all for your continued support. ❤️
