Dear Friends,

Santi says hi

We finally received a definitive diagnosis with a not very definitive name: Burkitt’s-like, or highly aggressive B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (NOS). It has characteristics of both previous contenders for the diagnosis.   The chemo regimen is an intensive one and started about an hour ago. Each round will be 5-6 days and occur every 3 weeks for 4-6 months. Santi has sailed through a number of procedures so far with much fewer ill effects than expected so I’m confident he can do the same with the chemo. So far so good. Thanks to everyone for your love, metta and kind thoughts.

Jo
