    First of all, thanks again to everyone who has sent their good wishes. I REALLY appreciate it!!!

    This morning I had some bone marrow taken from my pelvis. My lymph node results are still not through, nor are my CT scan results. A really wonderful haematologist believes I have Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, of which there are many types. I am provisionally booked in to start chemotherapy treatment next Thursday, depending on my biopsy results. I was told that if I didn't receive the chemotherapy I'd be dead inside two months. VERY SOBERING!!

    Putting it into perspective, at 50 I feel young and healthy. There are little children who die of cancer every day. At least I've lived half a century. My heart goes out to the children.

    Love to all,

    Ian

    That is what my niece's husband has too. He was diagnosed almost 2 years ago and is doing great. He isn't clear but it isn't progressing either. He went on a vegetarian diet, no sugar, no white flour, and is taking tons of specialized supplements, and opted not to do chemotherapy. So far so good.

    You do what your doctors recommend. As you said there are many types of this disease.

    Glad you are doing well. Have you heard from your daughters?

    Thanks again, everyone!

    any news on the girls????

    I'm afraid we still haven't heard anything from them and I'm not so sure if they knew about my situation that they'd even care. I'd rather they came round out of genuine love and sincerity - something seemingly absent from JWism - and NOT out of begrudged sympathy. I couldn't stand to be patronised. They'd probably think God's punishing me for turning my back on the Org.

    We haven't let the girls know and don't intend to tell them. I'm genuinely not bitter, it serves no purpose. My girls are indoctrinated just as I was. I don't blame them at all, I blame the big wigs in the Org; those who set the dogma which comes through the Watchtower and is held as sacrosanct. The cult hold is soooo strong they can't see that the teaching is anything but Biblical.

    I've experienced more Christianity in my dogs than ever I did as a JW. My dogs are non-judgemental, they forgive me if I err, they're always loving, they're incredibly loyal and terrific companions. They're also great kissers

    Love to all,

    Ian
