Some of the terms that I have used are not household terms that you’re likely to hear from your doctor. I believe with the examples of what histoplasmosis is and can do to a person is quite helpful as someone who had a family member with a suppressed immune system and could be exhibiting the symptoms listed.
Histoplasmosis- After seeing how this illness mimicked my friend Doug’s cancer so well, I would hate to see someone else’s loved one as well as their family go through the same hardship as my friend and his family.
Follicular Thyroid Cancer- I thought that there was only one type of thyroid cancer, not 4. But it helps to be able to give the reader a link to a good explanation of what this type of thyroid cancer is.
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma- A few years ago, Boston Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which ended his season early. I think that after that was plastered all over ESPN as well as all local sports coverage, people kind of took a different stance on how they looked at cancer and prevention.
I don’t know that there are many other sources I can use. I think the only thing that can help me more is quality pictures that help someone understand exactly what histoplasmosis can do if undiagnosed or where your thyroid is, and I think a picture of Jon Lester wouldn’t hurt. Always helps to put a face with a name.
I have most of these pictures, but it won’t be hard to find a picture of Jon Lester. I could get his picture from google.com or pull up his player profile on MLB.com.
