non-Hodgkins follicular lymphoma

This is not a question but a sharing. In 2005,
my husband was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins
lymphoma based upon history, physical, blood
work, imaging including pet scan and then
biopsy. A second opinion on the biopsy
was done. At the time of diagnosis, he was
anemic, had a massively enlarged spleen,
Pet Scan showed cancer also in his bones
and lymph nodes. He had begun taking
Prilosec and began eating red grapes daily.
As we were preparing to go to a cancer
center, we noticed his spleen decreasing
in size and his blood work improved. Another
pet scan was done confirming reduction in
spleen size. We cancelled plans to go to
cancer center and adopted a wait and see
approach. To make a long story short, his
condition has dramatically improved with
no need for chemo etc.
