Spencer was diagnosed today with Hodgkins Lymphoma, likely stage 2. They are starting his first round of chemo and radiation tomorrow. I don't know the details of his treatment, but I think he'll get several courses of chemo, each seperated by a few weeks.

If you're gonna get cancer, this is apparently a pretty good one to have. The odds of remission are between 80-90% for cases caught early and treated aggressively. Spencer is in a very good treatment facility. He's young and strong. As terrifying as the "C" word is, his odds are pretty positive.

Times like this are the only time I hate living up here. I'm going to have to find a way to make a trip back there soon.
