Relative Risk

This blog covers infectious disease topics and the often ugly interface of science and politics. I do most of the writing and plagiarizing though there are occasional contributors.

"In my heart, I know it delayed my opportunity for treatment," the 45-year-old father said of his Lyme diagnosis, which was actually a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that had spread.

My Lyme doc told me and my wife that if we had kids, they would be born with Lyme Disease. We now have 2 beautiful boys...Lyme free, of course... as am I. I have Stage 4 Non Hodgkin's Marginal Zone Lymphoma AND Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. My stupid side trip down Lyme Road slowed my Cancer diagnosis, but for the grace of God, I have been diagnosed, and I am being treated, and I will beat this!
