2nd Round

Hello everyone.
Today is Saturday August 19th and I thought that I would fill you in on my situation. I went last Wednesday to have my 2nd chemo but unfortunately my blood count was to low and I was not able to receive my treatment. I will go for my next one on Friday August 25th and will now have to have a shot after each one of my treatments to keep my blood count up. I understand that this may have some unpleasant side effects but I will stay strong. Thank you for all of your thouhgts and prayers. I can't express how much it helps me to keep my positive attitude.

Otherwise, I feel good and don't have any complaints!!(Except for the fact that my computer is not working and all of my e-mail addresses are stuck in it. Therefore I can't really forward this blog to any of my friends at this time!! Such is my luck!!

Thank you Spidey for lighting a candle for me. I will let you in on a secret.... I am way cooler than Tracee!! HA I love her!! She is great!!

Hello

If you're reading this, you probably know that on July 22, I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma through a routine exam. I have a tumor in my chest that is the size of a softball. I've gone through one chemo treatment and have them scheduled every two weeks for the next six months. I haven't puked yet, and still have all my beautiful hair.

I'm scared, of course, but I'm keeping my spirits up. It helps to know that I have so much support from everyone throughout this time in my life.

Check back often, I'll try to post regularly. Please leave comments, I get strength from your support.
