Biography

In September I thought I had an ear infection. By November I found out I had cancer. It’s shocking and unexpected. I am in my final stages of diagnosis, and am hoping to start treatment later this month. I have found much comfort in reading the stories of others and think the concept of sharing and healing with others going through the same experience is crucial for my mental health!

Cancer Symptoms

Lump in neck, trouble breathing, fatigue

Chemotherapy Description, Dates & Side Effects

R-CHOP

Hope your scan turns out totally fine, Patty-let us know when you find out! Ann

Thanks for sharing, this journey is quite a surprise for me. Please be patient for me, I’m just learning how to post and find you:)You are very brave and your canceris simmilar to mine but our ages are different. I hope to share my story like you to help others. Thank you and let’s stay in touch.

Just made some fantastic on-the-rocks margaritas a couple of days ago! I love combining both my bad habits (sugar and alcohol) in one package. Ann

Thanks for the comment Kelly-have to wonder which comes first, the cancer or the dark sense of humor…getting cancer would certainly be enough to push one over the edge! Although I think I personally was already there ;). Ann
