In this podcast Mike and Kasia talk about their diagnosis of cutaneous (skin) lymphoma. Mike has had skin lymphoma since 1999 and Kasia was diagnosed in 2023. 
Both Mike and Kasia are living with mycosis fungoides (MF), which is the most common type of skin lymphoma. Five years seems to be a bit of a theme, as Mike was living with MF for five years before he found out he had a skin lymphoma. Kasia started struggling with severe itching when she was pregnant and it was hoped the itching would go away once the baby arrived. However, it ended up taking five years until a diagnosis was finally reached.  
Over the years, Mike has had treatment with topical creams, ultraviolet light therapies UVB and PUVA and retinoid (oral) drugs including Baxarotene. However, the symptoms kept reappearing, so Mike went on to have treatment with allogeneic stem cell transplantation (using a donor). This has resulted in him being symptom-free since 2015. 
Kasia is currently using topical steroids as well as methotrexate (an immunosuppressant), but acknowledges that she is at an early stage with her skin lymphoma. She explains how something as simple as having a shower causes her excruciatingly pain. 
Both Mike and Kasia talk about the challenges of living with a skin lymphoma, including the effect it has on family and work and the difficulties of living with a rare condition that very few people have even heard of.

It’s a universal reality that at some point in our lives, we all assume the role of caregivers. It’s a responsibility that can range from intermittent to intensely demanding.

Kate Washington shares her personal story of caring for her seriously ill husband who was diagnosed with a rate form of lymphoma. Their once normal existence was disrupted and Kate’s role as a mother and freelance writer transformed into that of a full-time caregiver.

Dallas and Lesley share a passion to change society’s relationship with death and dying, and to support all of us to have timely conversations about our wishes, should a time come when we can no longer speak for ourselves; through a lack of mental capacity or when we die.  Courageous conversations with those who are important to us can be empowering and reassuring for those we leave to make decisions on our behalf. In this podcast, Dallas and Lesley talk about triggers for thinking about these issues, practical things to consider, how to plan for and have these conversations, and how - once you've had the conversation - you can pack your wishes into a box and put it away until later.

Hello to you listening in Rock Island, Illinois!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Over these several years and a few episodes back I’ve reminded my listeners about preparing for end-of-life wishes. Recently a colleague mentioned that she had gotten some documents ready but now they were out of sight and out of mind. No matter, she said. I’ll leave it to my family to sort out.

My mom died after a short battle with lymphoma during which time we were not allowed to ask about or prepare for her end-of-life. It was a scramble of 7 siblings helping dad carry out all the many preparations one isn’t faced with until one is. We did it well,  and then we grieved.

You would think we learned a lesson. But when dad died all we knew is that he had wanted to be buried in a plain pine box made by an order of monks. Now what? Fortunately, his best friend had the details. Once again we scrambled to get the pine box made and shipped to the funeral home.    

End-of-life wishes are like a GPS for your loved ones, a way to say to them in their time of grief: Here, my beloveds, I can help you. I have this map of what to do and how to go about it. You won’t be led astray. I’ve provided everything for you.  

Practical Tip: Decide on your end-of-life wishes and then program your GPS for your beloveds.
