About Me

My name is Robert G. Miller. I was first diagnosed in July 1988 with nodular and diffuse small-cleaved cell Non-Hodgkins lymphoma corresponding to a composite grade1/grade3a "follicular" lymphoma according to the classification system used today.

Over many years I have researched this disorder thoroughly in terms of conventional treatment options and scientifically-based lifestyle strategies that together may influence the course of follicular lymphoma, and hence long-term survival.

I am pleased to say I am now very well and fully active, with a passion for cycling and mountain biking.

My desire is to share the research I have done with patients having a similar diagnosis so that they too may benefit.

But make no mistake, I am no walking miracle. I have taken three types of conventional chemotherapy, in year 2 and again in year 9 and 10. At year 10, which is the approximate median survival time, some of my lymphoma transformed to a more aggressive grade...a probable development in the course of this disorder, and a serious hurdle to overcome. Since then, the lymphoma, although incurable, no longer affects my life in any way other than with continuing research and time spent helping others.

I now have annual check-ups.

By way of background, I have a master's degree in engineering, was a college instructor for 10 years and college dean for 16 years. I'm now semi-retired pursuing a variety of outdoor activities while living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

For many years I was a "buddy" to lymphoma patients referred by the present Lymphoma Research Foundation in California. This activity, from which I derived considerable satisfaction, was followed by the writing of several articles posted on the web with subsequent discussion and feedback from many patients. As my own health stabilized and the number of success stories grew, the desire to broaden my horizons developed and led to the development of this site.
