".. This study was the first to examine the link among patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Han and her colleagues analyzed data about 546 women with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

They found that those who drank wine had a 76 percent five-year survival compared with 68 percent for non-wine drinkers. Further research found five-year, disease-free survival was 70 percent among those who drank wine compared with 65 percent among non-wine drinkers ..."

Couldn't resist posting this when I read about it on one of the NHL boards! I've drunk wine for more years than I care to remember, so it's all good news!! I did stop when I was going through chemo, but started drinking wine again a few months later ... in moderation of course!

Everything seems to be going well health-wise. I've been on antibiotics for 3 weeks now - am trying to get rid of the cough which comes back everytime I stop a course. So I'm taking 3 lots - 30 days worth in all, and then we shall see. If it comes back again I think I'll have to go back to the chest physician again.

Lately I've been going to have my monthly IV-IG infusions without seeing Dr Bentley. He said just to come and see him if I had a problem. I'll be having a CT scan in the next couple of months so will be seeing him about that, but otherwise life is just flowing on happily normally!
