Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor, yep that’s me. I can’t help but reflect on what I went through leading up to this post. This post has taken a long time to write, mainly because I am out livin’ my life after being cooped up for months and […]
The final chemo. A Valentine’s day to remember. I knew I could do it from day one. The night I received the news it was Cancer I was ready to warrior and kick this cancer’s ass. Not everyone has this mindset and you may not […]
I want to make sure everyone knows that my journey of chemo is no reflection of what someone else’s journey may be like. There are hundreds of chemotherapy drugs and even more combinations. I can tell you first had that even on the same chemotherapy […]

Chemo #5 was the first one I had without the Bleomycin (the drug that can cause lung toxicity). YAY! This was the first time I got to see Dr. Ghosh, face to face, after he gave me my good news of my PET scan results […]
