Furthering yesterday’s post. Sue now has a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. There are many kinds but the good news we received is that Sue’s is very common, there are numerous treatment options, and it’s even curable in a majority of cases.

She now has a dedicated doctor and a real plan in the works. She will not be getting surgery, they will be moving her from Trauma Ward in Building B over to a room in Building C, 7th floor (as soon as a bed is available there) and then once she’s there they will begin first round of Chemotherapy.

The Doctor said that Chemo is the most effective & efficient way to treat this and that she may only need Chemo.

They will be doing numerous additional scans/tests to rule out the possibility of anything anywhere else. But Doctor said even if they find more, the treatment is still the same so they will proceed as planned. Thus far the spine is the only place they have found anything.

The resident Doctor told us today that the type of Chemo she’s getting is one of the easier ones to tolerate and that they don’t intend to send her back to Woodstock Hospital but will keep her here and assess how she responds to the Chemo and she would be sent home afterwards to recover assuming she is responding well.

I’ll post another update once she’s moved to Building C7 or if we receive any further information.

For those who like to randomly visit Sue, just want you all to know she’ll be temporarily at St Jo Hospital all afternoon on Wednesday (from 2pm on) for PET Scan which takes a few hours. I’ll be there with her.

Thanks again everyone for all your amazing love & support! Sue’s gonna kick the shit out of this!
