Alright guys, I know it has been a while since I've been on and I am really sorry about that but some really shitty things have happened the past few weeks and there has been so much going on and I haven't had time for anything really and I know I'm slacking but lemme just get on with it.

So, around a month ago I found this lump on the right side of my neck and at first it looked like I had swollen tonsils and I thought nothing of it. Problem was, it got bigger, so I went to the Doctor and basically this is a play-by-play of what happened.

1. Doctor sent me for a CT Scan.
2. CT Scan yielded nothing
3. Visited blood doctor (had troubles with my blood in the past)
4. Blood Doctor sent me for MRI Scan.
5. MRI Scan yielded unknown mass.
6. Sent to Ear/Nose/Throat Doctor
7. ENT Doc wanted to do a biopsy to figure out what it was.

On January 20th, I went in for a biopsy of the neck and around three days later was checked into a University Hospital about a half hour from my home town. I was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma, a type of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma which is a highly treatable form of cancer and with enough chemotherapy I will be up and running in a few months. I have an amazing support system and I started chemo about a week ago.

Chemo started last week and right now I am looking at 6 months of treatment. I took the semester off school to try and focus on my health more than anything which basically means I have a lot of spare time. I will 100% TRY as hard as I can to get online more often and post more, but the past few days have been on and off for me and I never really know how I am going to feel. Of course, I'll be on for a bit after I post this and you can talk to me, but I did just want to update you on everything going on with me because you guys rock and I wanted to make sure you know what's going on with me.

I will post ASAP and try and talk with all of you about this so I can catch up on the RPG and we can get the ball rolling again.

Cheers buddies.
