I want to start writing again, so I figured the best way to do that was to just begin. I have a lot of topics that I can write about, but then again, I don't.
I was just diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma for the second time. I actually knew it was back last April during spring break, but I didn't go for the actual test until June. It is a slow-growing kind of cancer, so I didn't worry about it spreading quickly - I felt I could take my time and I was right. I went for a PET scan in June of 2012 and it came back positive, but very small. I went for another PET scan in December 2012 and we confirmed it was definitely back, but still small.
I finally began treatment after spring break, with a biopsy of a lymph node in my thigh and now I am on Rituxan once a week for a month and then once a month for 18 months. That feels like a long time to me, but whatever works.
