I believe I'm going to live a full life. Several doctors callously and repeatedly informed the Butlers that Jack had no hope of remission from his non-Hodgkins lymphoma, according to his wife, Liz. S ince his diagnosis in 1991, Jack has undergone chemotherapy, internal radiation, and surgery, and, to date, nothing has worked. But then, I decided it is what it is. I'm going to enjoy my life.
L iz wholeheartedly agrees.
Long-term survival depends on your attitude. We're getting all the education we can, and we've tried just about everything. You need tools to work with. The Butlers have, in fact, become a resource for many people faced with similar situations. We help people explore their alternatives while we're still looking for ours.
