First Update

Hello Everyone,
On June 12th, 2008 I found out that my Dad, Bob Dodson, was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. I decided to start this blog so that Mom, Jeri won't have to tell the same medical updates multiple times. She also doesn't want anyone to be left out.
So to start from the beginning, Dad went in to see his doctor for a routine check up. At that time the doctor had some concerns regarding the lymph nodes in his stomach area and referred Dad to a surgeon.
The surgeon decided to do a biopsy on the lymph nodes in his arm pit that were also swollen. The biopsy came back positive for lymphoma.
There are many types of lymphoma and we do not know yet what type Dad has.
He is going to be seeing an oncologist on June 18th to find out what type of lymphoma he has and what his treatment plan is.
I will keep this blog as up to date as I can. I am sure Dad would want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

James said to tell Robert he's thinking about him. He said he caught 7 crappie today and Berry didn't put anything in the box.

Love you bunches!! Remember that He is still Jehovah Rapha.
