Kind of ignoring that there is a problem
It is so confusing sometimes - to me, and I know to others. What the heck is going on? I am not in remission but the Lymphoma does not appear to be killing me. The standard model is that if you have cancer, you need to cut it out, burn it with radiation, kill it with chemo, or use an immunotherapy (that is not as innocuous as people tend to think). But, what if it is there but it isn't killing you? I'll admit, it takes a lot of faith to not really know. You have a scan or bloodwork or whatever, but it could "ignite" the day after and you'd be in trouble, right? As I've shared here, I know I have been fortunate. I have met people and am in contact with many who were so sick right away that they didn't have choices. On the other hand, I am also in contact with people who were like me...diagnosed with swollen lymph nodes and biopsies, symptoms that are bothersome like night sweats and swollen hands, feet, joints... I've had some rashes. They are jumped...
