About Me
Michael Foxworth
In March 2006, I contracted one of the most aggressive forms of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
We never obtained lasting remission from some 16 different chemo treatments while waiting for a unrelated donor stem cell transplant (MUD SCT), the only medical procedure that offers hope of a cure for MCL. The SCT was completed on August 22, 2007.
On the 44th day post transplant results of a PET scan were negative (cancer gone!) and we also received the DNA test results -- the SCT was successful.
Meanwhile, until Nov. 30, 2007, I was restricted to home confinement for the first 100 days of recovery.
Now well into my second year cancer-free, we can observe that recovery was steady but slow with some skin rash (GVH), but on Feb. 25, 2008, I returned to work on a part-time basis.
Then, in late-July 2008, I returned to work on a full-time basis. But the MCL returned in July 2009 and a month later I started TomoTherapy (radiation) that was successful. We are back on medical leave until March 2010.
