It's Lymphoma

I was diagnosed with Lymphoma today, just six weeks after visiting the doctor with a lump on my neck. It hasn't sunk in yet. I imagine it will soon. The doctor said something about type B what ever that means. After that everything went over our heads, so we missed a lot of what she said. I will have an appointment for next week to discuss the plan for chemo. We have a 6 year old little boy, so I have to remain positive and get better for him.
