"They saved my life""Better get your affairs in order. You have about two months to live," the doctor said. My wife and I sat there . . . crying."That was many years ago. I had stage 4-BE non-hodgkin lymphoma. More swollen lymph nodes appearing every day. The cancer had metastasized to my liver. There was a mass in my abdomen, shutting down one kidney and blocking my bowel. Another tumor pressing on my lungs. I was desperate.
