So, You guys know the diagnosis, Right?? Hodgkins Lymphoma also know as Hodgkins disease. Yea, so back in April, I went through a series of tests, and I told you a lymph node biopsy revealed the diagnosis. I'm glad I liked the doctor who delivered it to me, and boy, in retrospect, I really appreciate his approach with the delivery. He was very reassuring, but all I heard at the time was CANCER. My brain initially didn't process anything he said, except CANCER. So, it went something like this: " I'm sorry to be the one to give you this information, but It's the best bad news I would want to hear if I were you...................., It's one of the most responsive(to chemo and radiation therapy) and curable forms of cancer if caught in an early stage. Its not the end of the world........."
So, need I say, that that was a long drive home. My brain was saying "CANCER CANCER CANCER, ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
It took me a couple of hours, but I decided I had better start doing a little research and see how true the stats were that the Doc had given.......................................Whew!!!, now I'm not hearing CANCER over and over again in my head. My nerves have started to calm, at a snails pace, but none-the-less, calming. So, now the search for the one who will guide me back to health, an Oncologyst. I was adamant on going to Cedars Sanai, and that is where my treatment started and will finish. I got an appointment the next week!!!!!!
