How are you feeling?

Yeah, I get that question a lot, too, from people who take on an earnest tone in their voice and look deeply into my eyes.

I say I feel fine. What more can I say? Like you, I've never had a symptom. The R-CHOP chemotherapy made me feel sicker than the cancer ever did.

Yet, at the same time, a day doesn't go by when I'm not aware that I have lymphoma. That doesn't make me feel especially good... yet, how could I ever explain that to my questioner?

Ah, the dilemmas of living with this slippery disease.

Hang in there.
