After an emotionally intense few weeks of being advised that cancer was suspected, to having cancer confirmed, to then have to wait for a specific diagnosis; we are finally here! It's Hodgkin's Lymphoma - stage 3b. My darling husband who has been amazing throughout all the prodding and poking, the blood tests, multiple scans and 3 separate biopsies; he now faces his first Chemotherapy treatment. A clinical trial!
He's felt ill since Monday (more than normal) following the PET CT scan. I was so worried about him yesterday. Scary times! Today he definitely felt better but he is still experiencing cancer fatigue and other Hodgkin's related symptoms.
Please don't mistake this as a sob story...far from it! I am married to such a positive man and his strength and continued positivity throughout is amazing!
This hasn't been an easy journey...we've been married for 8 months and this journey started just after 5 months. Still, if we can get through the worst challenges at the start of our married life, the rest will be plain sailing! ;o)
