Fancy Fights Back


I was diagnosed today with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  I will be sharing my story here along the way and hope to increase awareness in the process.  I work in health care and had no idea that the symptoms I have been experiencing pointed to cancer. 

*Itchy skin
*Night sweats
*Fevers
*Fatigue
*Weight loss

I thought everything was related to my chronic sinus problems/allergies, and didn't take action until the lymph nodes on my neck were noticeably "swollen".  The CT scan showed a mass in my chest, which explained my shortness of breath...I thought I was just out of shape!  Apparently this diagnosis is common among the 15-40 crowd.  While there is nothing you can do to prevent Hodgkin's Lymphoma, early detection is always a good thing.  

I'll update when I know more.  Thank you for all of the prayers!

We don't really have a good "flea market" around here, unless you're looking for old VHS tapes or used stuffed animals.  But I do enjoy taking someone else's "trash" and turning it into a treasure for my home.  Here is some inspiration from Better Homes & Gardens on using flea market finds in your own home.
