Okay I did well in 2008. I was able to loose a total of 78 pounds. Great, but here recently I have been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Cancer. The horror started back in November. I got sick with a cold that had a cough that wouldn't stop. The cough went on and on for days, then it turned into months. Finally I went to the doctors, only for them to tell me that it may be tuberculosis. So I started treatment for tuberculosis, but that cough would go away. So after a month of taking five different medications, I took myself to the emergency room feeling as if I was having an asthma attack. In the month of December, a day or two in the hospital I had a CAT scan done and found that my lungs were abnormal in size and they needed to do a bronchoscopy to get some samples of the swollen nodules in my airway passage. Diagnoses came back that I had Sarcoidosis (lung disease that Bernie Mac had) causes inflammation to your organs. Well here I am devastated and confused on how I got such a disease and there wasn’t a cure for it. A month or so went by and I grabbed hold to some faith and stop worrying and continued to live my life to the fullest and put it all in God’s hands. My doctor by the grace of God, wanted to continuing running test to figure out where and what organ has the sarcoid affected. Well the lymph node on the left side of my neck was swollen and stayed swollen even after some treatment of steroids to reduce inflammation. The doctor requested a biopsy to be done and on February 23, 2009 I went into surgery to have the lymph node removed. While in surgery the doctor advised that it was bigger than expected and only took half, but enough to make a diagnoses. On February 26, 2009 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Cancer. Now my journey begins. I need all the prayers and support I can get. This is very hard to deal with. I had gained the faith I needed for the fist disease and now another. He said he will not put more on me than I can bare and oh is this test. I asked the question “Why me?” and got my answer “Why not you?” He has blessed me with 3 beautiful children, a wonderful husband, a nice home, loving family and friends, and so much support from others, so “Why not you”. He is using me so that I will be a testament of his faith and the miracles that he can perform. By God’s grace and my faith I’m going to beat this. Cancer will not win. You can check on my progress as I go through my chemotherapy and radiation treatments. I want to say Thank you all for your support! God Bless!{}
