so, i don’t think i am the right person to talk or write about the medical area of hodgki
n’s lymphoma, but i can share you what i know, and my relation to it.
2.5 years ago, in a very lucky way i found out i had some cancer called hodgkin’s lymphoma. i was told it is in the lymphatic sy
stem and i was in stage iii. meaning we were in time to do 16th
cycles of chemo s and i was gonna be fine.
i was strong and with a positive attitude, i went over 8 months of treatment and the 6th of june 2009 i was good! in remission and just needing to go to check ups every month. happiness!!!
i kept on with my life...did many awesome things and some normal ones as well. met great ne
w people and lived and loved...and surely laughed and learned a lot!
the 24 of january, after a wonderful trip with 2 very close friends in argentina and the patagonia i went to my normal check up with my doctor....and also to let him know i was gonna be away for a while...yes! i was finally moving to toronto (i’m moving as soon as i am good) to build a life with alex, to be in the same place. but, life has always surprises and mine was that i was'
t gonna be able to be in toronto in 2 days, but i had to fight again against cancer and this time in a very aggressive way: hodkin’s is back.
i was angry, very angry! sad, disappointed, frustrated and angry! how can i do this to my family again, how can i do this to alex...my friends. I know is not my fault...still felt bad.
after some
great help and good talks, right before the stage one of my autotransplant i did an agreement with mr. hodgkin’s if he needs to be near me, ok, go ahead i will help meanwhile is outside of my body. this is th
e second and last time i let him in - so, yes, i will need to find a way, an ngo that h
elps this cancer....kids wit
h cancer...something i will find maybe to share my learning or to help through a proc
ess i already k
now.
i am a survivor once, and I will be a survivor again,
