Well,
After 3 months of tests, biopsies, 2 surgeries, CT and PET scans, ultrasounds and way too many hospital appointments, I finally have a diagnosis. Stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma. I think I had already come to terms with this way before today but still, being told you have cancer at age 20 is a bit of a strange feeling. I'm not sure what the future holds, but I have little insights thanks to the amazing people I have met along the way who are also suffering with lymphoma. Remaining positive and focusing on the good of this, how I can help others in my situation and spread awareness about a cancer I knew nothing about. Hearing that you have cancer is scary, but it would've been unbearable had I not known it was curable, but other types of cancer aren't as lucky and for that I'm grateful. Awareness around lymphoma in young people needs to be spread, I've always been told to check my boobs for lumps - but never my neck.
Hope everyone is doing okay, and thank you for the support I've had on here after the past few months. It's been very helpful.
