Diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma

I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma on 2010/4/11, what a life-changing moment. Despite hearing a lot of people saying that they were shocked, scared, freaked out, lost when they first heard the diagnosis of cancer; I accepted the diagnosis very calmly and peacefully.

On 4/14, I already decided to follow up with the suggested treatment by my oncologist, and scheduled up a series of blood test, PET-CT scan, Port-A insertion and the list goes on.

The purpose of writing this blog is to share my thoughts during my ABVD-chemotherapy treatment with my friends and also other Hodgkin's lymphoma patient. The power of sharing is really unbelievable, because people tend to believe in those who had the same experiences as they do.

Although plans and dreams often disrupted when one is diagnosed with cancer (because of long treatment plan and uncertainties lying ahead), one very important element in cancer healing is KEEP POSITIVE THINKING. I believe, if we hold on together, I know my dream to keep living on will never die.

So, Hodgkin's Lymphoma survival out there, say HI to me! Let's be allies of one another.
