...this man has a sense of humor...

As I began the setting up of this blog, I ran into the issue of making it anonymous ( he and I have chosen to maintain this as a 'universal' approach to sharing the experiences).
It needs to have a touch of Joseph.
It needs to have a title and url that is easy for people in our lives to remember.
I gave him a call and interrupted his dinner (yes... at Olive Garden, no less !).
After a bit of discussion, he decided to put the url as "lymphomaboy".
I gasped in amazement and said.. "Oh no!"
He laughed and said, "Why not? My PET scan shows me lit up from head to groin. I am saturated with this ! I AM LYMPHOMABOY !"

Okay.... Fine....
I am convincing myself that Laughter IS the best way to approach this whole thing.. if it is possible.

So... as I shake my head at one more statement "...I even have balls that are lit up..." (ugh)...

I offer to you now..
...a page in which to share your love and thoughts with Joseph and his family.

...a place for you to come and find any updates that he and his family wish to share with you.
...a blog that will help me feel like I am doing something to help.

Much love and gratitude to each and every person who reads this page.

It's all about the humor! If the "unique" name helps in the coping process let it be.
Often times the family feel helpless and don't know what to do. This blog is good medicine for you and for the friends who are also concerned but "just don't know what to do".
Rock on lymphomaboy! MOL (mother of lymphomaboy)you rock too!
