I am FINALLY done with my radiation! I am still in a bit of a shock that all my treatments are over. I have been taking a treatment of some sort now since November 14th, 2007. 4 months of chemo and 41/2 weeks of radiation. I am still pretty sore around my neck and chest, but that should start to get better in a week or so. I will go back to the Dr. for a check-up in June.
I know that this chapter in my life is over and am looking forward to the next. I have so many people to thank for supporting me the last many months that it will be impossible to say thanks to everyone individually here. I have so many family, friends and co-workers that have supported, encouraged and prayed for me during this time. I know that I am a different person as a result and will hope to see life through the lens of this experience and be better for is. I also hope that my experience has also helped others who have had to deal with cancer. I have learned much about cancer and how people deal with it.
I am not sure how to end this blog..... It has helped me in the healing process and want to see how I can continue to use it in someway maybe to help others. ...I'll think about it. Let me know if you have any other ideas.

I am very happy for you, Sandra and Daniel. Let's celebrate! When am I cooking?
Congratulations Jeff! You are finally on the road to recovery. I'm thinking about attending a cancer and nutrition symposium in DC this summer but not sure what to think of it. Have you heard of it before: www.cancerproject.org/symposium

Jeff ... I found your blog by accident looking up lymphoma treatmetns on the Internet.
My mother was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma - on her 70th birthday - and she'll start her chemotherapy this week.
Your blog was very inspirational and provided the personal touch of a true human being going through the illness instead of a government Web site trying to describe what will happen to my mom.
For that I thank you! I hope you always stay cancer free!
God bless you. You've also inspired me to create a similar blog about my mom.

Diana, Thanks so much for your email. It is great to hear how my experience can encourage others in fighting cancer. I am still in the remission stage and thank God that I am still cancer free. Please let me know how I can help you and your mother or if you have any questions regarding what she is about to go through.
