[Magdalen] Fwd: not Anglican but (re: lymphoma)

[Marion Thompson]

So far, the chemo is working very well on Jim's lymphoma and it is 
largely gone, although the oncologist, finally seen again two weeks 
ago!, is still interested in the bone marrow and will continue chemo for 
awhile.  Jim went bald after chemo #2, but that's all -- nearly.  Some 
weeks back he had trouble with the pikk-line, it seemed. Medics guessed 
at infection (antibiotics) and then blood clot (blood thinners).   
Finally the oncologist's x-ray revealed a lymphoma-induced hairline 
fracture of the shoulder, proximal humerus something.  Pins were 
inserted last week and he was sent home the same night.  At least the 
grinding pain and weakness in the arm have now ceased.

Interesting to read of the T-Cell treatment.
