Help Me Defeat Lymphoma

Greetings, amazing friends and generous souls!

I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. It's time to share my story, and I promise it comes with a dash of humor, despite my current predicament.

For the past seven months, I've been on a wild rollercoaster ride, and it's not the theme park I had in mind. Picture this: biopsies, chemo, doctors' visits, and a bewildering array of medical scans - CTs, PETs, MRIs - you name it, I've done it. And as it turns out, I'm dealing with stage 4 grade 3A follicular lymphoma, plus a mysterious companion lymphoma that's yet to reveal its name – perhaps it's just shy. ️‍♀️They couldn't resist a tag team match against me. But guess what? I'm not one to back down from a challenge!

The chemo sessions? Well, let's just say they've turned me into a real-life chemo-queen (or at least, that's what I tell myself). They've left me with the impressive superpower of extreme fatigue and an uncanny ability to become dizzy just by looking at my own feet. If that's not talent, I don't know what is!

So, folks, here's the kicker: I've been an involuntary couch potato, and not the cool kind with potato chips and Netflix. Chemo's tag team with lymphoma has rendered me temporarily unable to work. But fear not, I've been handling chemo like a champ, and I've got many more rounds to go plus a CAR-T transplant.

Now, here comes the not-so-funny part - the medical bills. They've grown faster than my hair used to, and I desperately need your help. Every dollar will be used to conquer this double trouble lymphoma, lift the weight off my medical bills, and get me back on my feet (literally)!

So, here's your chance to be a hero. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference, and I promise to share my groan-worthy chemo jokes as a token of my appreciation.

Join my fight, be a part of my journey, and help me regain my balance and strength. Together, we'll kick lymphoma's butt and get me back to doing the cha-cha rather than the chemo-chaos!

Thank you for being my superpower and supporting my fight against lymphoma. Together, we can turn this challenging chapter into a heartwarming, story of triumph. ❤️.

Donate now, and let's get this show on the road!

With love, laughter, and lots of gratitude,

René

Update:

Eventhough we don't know which of the over 70 types of lymphoma the mystery one is, we know that it doesn't have the cancer cell antigen CD20. This now makes it super rare and treatment options just decreased from 3 to 1. That's just to beat this rare strain. I still have the original which needs CAR-T. The median survival rate for this rare strain is 8.9 months. They don't even have a survival % for it, because it's so rare. Well whoopteedoo, while I'm on the rollercoaster, why don't they just shake my cage too hahaha. Seems I'm needing a stemcell transplant as well.

So here is the new deal. If this does me in, I will haunt all the enemies of my donors.

Sorry if I'm sounding too light hearted, but that's carrying me through this at the moment along with all the love and support ❤️
