Looking at life differently after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

A Little Bit of Strawberry Fairness!
Second of June and the start of cycle 5. It was mum's birthday yesterday so she brought in some chocolates for the nurses which went down well. Chemotherapy went ok. Saw my Dr and we discussed holidays, I asked how long I needed to wait before I went off for a holiday. He said 3 - 4 weeks and that Turkey was an ok destination, so now I can look at some and hopefully book something to look forward to.
The next day I didn't feel too bad so spent the morning with Bean and got some snaps of Freddy.
Saturday was Strawberry Fair, the day started off with the weather not being that great but it brightened up in the afternoon and I managed to catch the sun on my face. It was a great day with live music, a few ciders and a nosey around the stalls. Had a lovely day and evening...managed to last until about midnight!
I got diagnoised with lymphoma in January 2009 after a year travelling and having the time of my life. This blog will hopefully raise awareness of lymphoma and about what life is really like living with Hodgkin's.
26.12.08 - Outpatients to get pain killers for backpain. Suggested I return to GP asap.
24.12.08 - First blood test.
18.12.08 - Back to the GP, still experiencing back pain and had flu like sypmtoms. Told I had a viral infection and to 'ride it out'. Referred to osteopath. Bed all day with 'flu' 18th & 19th.
04.12.08 - First went to GP with back pain and trouble sleeping.
