Cancer

Just a few weeks ago I was face to face with a doctor telling me I have cancer: Hodgkin's Disease to be exact. He proceeds to tell me about treatments and what's to come, but all I can focus on are the words "You have cancer." It's like facing my own death, even though he is telling me in a few short months I will be cured.

My type of lymphoma is the best kind. It responds best to the chemo and everything that when I am healed I won't have to worry about it coming back. Even with that in my head, I still have days when I cry out and ask why. The only explanation I have as of to why I have this illness is that "It just happens" and that's the hardest thing for me to deal with. There has to be a reason why this happens not only to me but others who have it.

I know I will survive, and the color I am using in this post and more to come, is the color of lymphoma awareness color. I have been through two surgeries so far and three different tests, and there will be more of both to come, but I am ready to take on this battle and I WILL WIN!
