Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, Melvin Berger's
prediction turns true - my 23 year old with EBV has a huge gastric tumor,
infiltrating the entire stomach wall. This was found on a quick bedside
upper GI endoscopy. We don't know where else she might have disease, since
she is too unstable to get a CT scan. We are proceeding with Rituximab
combined with EPOCH.
