Now With More "Stuff"
Just in case you didn't believe me, I released a new feature of almostzen.com...now, if/when you go to my site, you'll see a new chat window that allows you to drop me an instant message without having to launch an IM program (as long as I am online at the time). Its a pretty snazzy new feature (with many more to come)...so feel free to check it out.
I've been using a private LiveSTRONG message board to try to organize a group of people to get together for a little "meet n' greet" down in Austin. I've been receiving a lot of interest, and I'm really looking forward to meeting and talking with some fellow cancer survivors.
I should be hearing back from the Lance Armstrong Foundation on 9/20 about my scholarship...like, if I get one or not (and if I do, how much it is and what it covers). Check back!

Jeff,
I just finished reading your blog. I can't believe the similarities in the kind and position of our cancers. I had a large diffuse b-cell non hodgkins lymphoma. Diagnosed 9/28/04. (On Thursday I a two year survivor, YEA)
I was diagnosed 9/04 Had six sessions of CHOP with Rituxan and was in remission by 12/04. My oncologist thought it was best to have a stem cell transplant so my survival rate would be at 80%. That was done in 3/05. It was a definite stuggle but I am on the other side and feeling well . I have some issues from after effect from the treatment but all in all I am fine.
Here is the neat thing . I also got picked for the Survivor Summit in Austin. I would very much like to go to the meet and greet. Although I am old enough to be your mother we still have a few things in common
Talk to you soon
Jeanne
