Oncology (General Cancer)/Expert Profile
Expertise
My wife passed away August of 2002 after we were married for just over a year and a half. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer a week to the day after we wed. Please limit questions to this particular cancer, and I can pretty much find resources for you if you are having problems finding what you need. I can also offer advice on how to deal with the emotional strains and things along this line. In all, I can be an ear when you need someone to listen, or a shoulder to lean or cry on. I CAN NOT ANSWER DOCTOR QUESTIONS ABOUT CONDITIONS OR SUCH AS I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I am only knowledgeable in the basics of the cancer (especially lymphoma) and what to expect and other questions like this.
Experience in the area
I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND DO NOT ANSWER DOCTOR QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately many don't seem to read this part and I continue to get questions I can not answer. I can ONLY answer general questions regarding cancer and specifically Lymphoma.
