Dan Erdody

November 15, 1970 - March 16, 2005

A few months ago I was diagnosed with non Hodgkins Lymphoma (a tumor in my sinus cavity). I would like to state my primary reasons for hosting a website with this information. As most of you know I come from a large and ever increasing family. I live in a small community in which I was born, raised, and have been fortunate enough to have accumulated many friends over the years. Though I am grateful for phone calls when I'm hospitalized or at home it can be demanding repeating the same story over and over, as I tend to forget who knows what. In fairness to all I will post daily or as needed, to the best of my ability the way I feel about what I am going through and all the medical stuff the best I can translate. I would also like this to be a learning experience so people have a better understanding of cancer treatment. I only knew the words chemotherapy and radiation before this began, I had no idea what it all entailed. I hope we can all learn something from my experience and have a better idea the struggles cancer patients go though. 1 in 3 Americans will at some point in thier life will be diagnosed with some form of cancer.

I would also like to thank everybody who has supported me, from the encouraging messages on my message board, to financial help, rides, moral support and the many many many other ways in which I have been blessed with support. Thank you all very much. I don't know how I would get by with out it.

**We felt that it was important (and we're sure that Dan would have felt it was important) to note that this cancer was not the typical B-Cell Lymphoma. Dan's cancer was a Non Hodgkins T-Cell Lymphoma, mutated with the Epstein Barr Virus.**
