Battling Lymphoma

Ask me anything   What is Hodgkin Lymphoma?   Resources   Other Young Adults Like YOU With Hodgkin Lymphoma   

My name is Kayla. I am 21 years old and I created this blog to document my journey. I was recently diagnosed with a type of cancer; Hodgkin Lymphoma (stage II). My course of treatment for the next 4-6 months will be chemotherapy. Although Hodgkin Lymphoma has a very good prognosis - it is still very frightening to be diagnosed with a serious illness. Hopefully my blog will help others fighting this disease as well as the family members and friends who support them :)

PET Scan…All Clear

I got my post-chemo PET scan October 16th! The scan came back negative! It’s time to begin a new chapter in life.

Although I am taking the steps to move on, I know that it isn’t going to be easy. It will take a lot of work and time to deal with the worries that will come every now and then. All I can hope for is that this will slowly fade into the background as I move on with my life. Fingers crossed!

Answer:

Wow Cathrine! YOU’RE inspiring! I can’t believe you managed to go to school throughout everything. It must have been really hard - I can’t imagine. I’m so glad that you’re cancer is gone now. You’ve been down a long road and now you’re moving on. That’s great! I’m really happy for you :)
