The Cancer Years starts partway through the story. This timeline is here to make the chronology easier to follow.
I’ll keep adding to it as treatment continues.
Before Diagnosis
Around 2009
The first skin problems appeared, long before I knew they were cancer.
Diagnosis
Spring 2024
After years of unexplained symptoms, I was diagnosed with mycosis fungoides, a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
Treatment
2024–2026
I was treated with methotrexate in an attempt to control the disease.
Summer 2026
Methotrexate was stopped as treatment plans changed.
September 2026
I was referred through radiation oncology and hematology as my doctors worked out the next stage of treatment.
September 23, 2026
My first mogamulizumab infusion is scheduled.
Now
I am documenting what happens from here as it happens.
