Yeah, I'm so great at remembering anniversaries that I even forgot the anniversary of my cancer diagnosis.

I blame.... chemo brain! 😂

Yeah, it was on Nov 17th 2020 that they performed the brain biopsy that diagnosed me with a PCNS lymphoma. The next day, the oncologist they had assigned to me gave me the news. I gave my assent to treatment, and they immediately rolled me from neurology to oncology because I was *this* close to being dead.

We started chemo. After two rounds of it, I entered remission, but I had to go through all 8 rounds of it (or 9 rounds depending on how you count), and later I had a stem cell transplant.

Five years after this ordeal, I'm still alive. 🥳
