Nine years since I checked in.
I posted about this anniversary in 2008, with some additional links here – Time flies when you're having fun: Today is second anniversary of start of my twenty day stay at Sloan Kettering
This was for my "high dose" chemotherapy, aiming to kill any remaining surviving cancer cells from my prior four months of chemo. The high dose chemo lasted six days, with the remaining time spent waiting for my immune system to re-build itself after I got back my own stem cells (an autologous transplant).
Letting people keep abreast of my therapy for mantle cell lymphoma was the reason I created this weblog, back in September, 2005. Facebook was not very big at that time; if it had been I probably would have just started a facebook account. Since then the blog has expanded to include all sorts of things I'm interested in. I still do get frequent visits from people interested in lymphoma and chemotherapy. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society linked to me shortly after I started Faranda's Folly, although they seem to have changed their policy and I can no longer find my link on their site.
