For those of you who don't believe in God, I guess I can't ask this of you. But for those of you who do, I really need your prayers right now. I'm facing my life long nemesis Hodgkin's Disease (lymphatic cancer) again. Unlike most cancers that are considered "cured" after 5 years of remission, Hodgkin's is a rare form of lymphoma that NEVER goes away. It usually strikes the young, and even though I'm no longer a young woman, I have been battling it since I was 19 years old. The good news is although it never goes away, it is very treatable, and is far less deadly than Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The reason is because lymphoma is cancer of the lymph nodes, and no matter what cancer you have, once it spreads to the lymph system, your time is numbered.
My biggest problem right now is that my poor little body might not be able to take chemo, if that's the case, I'm not sure what the outcome will be. The emotional toll will be hard as well, but at least I do have people who love me, to help me get through it. So please keep me AND the ones that love me in your thoughts, as we prepare for battle once again.
To All Of You
