Well where to begin...
I guess my life changed a week and a day ago around midnight. I was in a car accident that totaled my car because a van ran a red light. I spun around in the air i might add, and landed backward on a curb. We thought i was okay so we didn't go to the hospital. Sunday night my mom took me to urgent care because i was having terrible back pains, but they just sent me home with some muscle relaxers. Monday morning was my first day of college. I woke up to take a shower and i spit some blood while i was in the shower. I then texted my mom who thought we should go to the emergency room. The doctor said that i was fine and it was probably just a bruised lung from the accident, but to be safe we wanted to take some chest x-rays. Well we certainly did find something. We found an almost 4 inch size mass in my chest. We then decided a catscan was necessary. After this new finding, i spent the night in the hospital and the next day i had to get a needle biopsy.

Today was the day we got the results from the biopsy. It was positive for Hodgkin Lymphoma. The doctor said there was a possibility that it could be lymphoma but he said it was unlikely so i was a little shocked by the news. And so was everyone else.

All the encouragement i get from others really makes things a lot easier. And the fact that i need my roots dyed and my hair cut makes chemotherapy sound awesome! (and i love wigs :D) haha!

Its amazing the way God showed us lymphoma earlier by the car accident. It could have gotten so much worse... God works in mysterious ways and I know there's a greater reason for the cancer than any of us could understand.


KEEP PRAYING!!
