I’m glad I’m participating in NaBloPoMo. I’m learning to write better and more frequently, I’m also reading a lot of blogs that I would otherwise missed (but my house might prefer that I do without, as I’ve kind of neglected some things). I try to leave comments as I go through the Randomizer, maybe this will generate a little bit of traffic for my own blog, but more importantly, I think people love comments in general and what better way to spread a little love than typing a few short words? So ahem, if you like what you’re reading here, leave a little love won’t you? Even if it’s just to say “HI”

I went to archana’s site not long ago, browsed through a bit and realized that she is a cancer survivor herself. She is the first and only cancer survivor blog I’ve come across through the Randomizer so far. I left a short note and didn’t think much of it at the time. Turns out, she was diagnosed with the SAME type of cancer, at roughly the SAME age as I was( 23-24), had the SAME chemo regiment. HOW FUCKING WEIRD IS THAT. Another Hodgkoid.

She just finished chemo this summer and has been doing well. She just had another great CT scan that said “clear.” The battle is over for now and she has won, but the real recovery (emotionally) is going to take much much longer. I know I’m still reeling, even after 5 years of being in remission. With that, please send some love her way too and a hearty ‘congratulations’ on beating the crap out of hodgkin’s. Well done my dear and may you never have to deal with the big C ever again. Enjoy your vacation.

* Hodgkoid was what we referred to ourselves when I was an active participant of an online support group for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
