# Life

So, until I have time to write more here, this is just a brief synapsis of what's going on in my life.

I'm working for a small company here in Richland, WA. My official title is "Network Administrator," however my business cards say "Sr. System Administrator." In reality, I am the IT Dept. I'm also responsible for the phones, and probably anything else that has a wire. I'm massively overworked but hopefully we'll be hiring a PFY soon.

Of course, the big thing in my life right now is Mom's lymphoma. Almost a year ago mom was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She has a mass in her small bowel and has been undergoing treatment. She's had a round of CHOP, a couple ICE treatments, and surgery so far. The surgery was done just before she was to have an Auto-Immune transplant, because of the results of some final tests before proceeding with the treatment.

Unfortunately, they were unable to remove the mass during surgery. At this point her prospects look grim. We haven't given up hope, and just today she had her first Bexxar treatment. We're hopeful that she'll respond well, however we've just recently learned that the disease has spread to her kidney's as well.

So that's my life in a nutshell right now.
