My name is Lindsay i am 19 yrs old and i was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease June 2,2008. It all happened so quickly. One day i found a lump on my neck...next day i am sitting in the ENT doctors office and I get poked with needles after needles doing test after test I go back the next day to see what the test results are....and they tell me i have cancer. Next day I am going into surgery to remove the lump so they can do more test! It was one thing after the other...now I am gonna start start my first day of chemo in about a week. I'm so scared. I don't want to loose my hair. I don't understand why this is happening to me!! I just got my own place 2 weeks before i went to the Doctors so i haven't really enjoyed my first place! I know i will make it through but I am so scared of getting sick from the chemo and loosing my hair! I have never been so scared in my life. I have a lot of support but its so hard staying strong and being positive.
Hello hope all is well, i was diagnosed at 22 back in march 07. I had lumps under my arms and in my neck, at the time i was really "PISSED OFF" like you asking why why why.I learned how to deal with it in another way. Just remember you have it, It dosent have you. Before you no it youll be on your way!!! kick its ass
