Wow, 29 viewers in a few short hours!  Here’s a recap of my situation so you don’t have to scroll all the way back to wherever it is I posted my story (can’t believe I’ve done 45 since I started in Jan! With 499 views total!!
I was always a sick child, catching every cold.  You sneeze, I was guaranteed to get it.  By the time I got out of high school my immune system seemed to be a little stronger, but the pain became more frequent. (Had pain a lot with sick, but parents thought I was seeking attention) over the course of 4 years in college I had a procedure for endometriosis which gave me temporary pain relief.   Then it came back and got worse.  That is pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.   In 2009 I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins’s lymphoma large b cell in about 85% of my skeleton.  I went through 5 months of chemo and was very fortunate that the drugs took away the tumors and healed the bone!!  It took me awhile to process what I went through, I went back to school and graduated and continued to master’s and graduated!  I’m feeling better than ever. The pain stopped halfway through treatment and my family is closer than ever, I’ve worked on forgiveness and moving forward and understanding what I went through, how I’ve changed and where I’m going.
