what a beautiful buzz

I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in September 2009, and underwent chemotherapy and radiation in hopes of persuading the tumors riddling my body to please leave. I achieved remission in June, 2010. I went on an epic road trip.

In December of 2010, I relapsed. I underwent a different "salvage" (pre-transplant) chemo regimen throughout January, and underwent the process of a stem cell transplant throughout March.

My re-birthday was March 14th, 2011.

The road to recovery was long and rough, but I managed to stay in remission for 2.5 years and gave birth to a happy, healthy little boy named Jazz in March of 2012.

I relapsed again in November of 2013, and he and my incredible husband are the reasons I'm still fighting.

Next is an allo stem cell transplant, followed by a long, cancer-free life.

Carpe diem!
