Hi all. I hope you’re all doing well or the best you can. I’m a 27 year old female with 2 kids. 1 year old and a 6 year old. Beautiful kids.  I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma but very lucky as it was stage 2 which was found out a couple of months ago.   The thing I noticed first was the night sweats, fatigue and a lump growing on my neck near my collar bone. Yesterday was my 10th treatment and I have 2 to go, thank goodness. To be honest I think the chemo makes you sick the most.    I am so very upset these days but I am very grateful as well but the chemotherapy took a part of me that I feel I will never get back. I have no hair on my head as it had to be shaved off. I lost my eyebrows, my eyelashes fell out and I’m just constantly sick. I have chemo brain and find it difficult concentrating. The fatigue is draining, I sleep, wake up and nothing feels like it’s changed, I’m still tired… I also have lost my self esteem and confidence. I can’t remember things most days and have no idea what I’m doing. I normally just space out here and there and I’m very emotional all the time.  It’s hard, it’s so hard but you just have to hang in there and keep pushing through. Remember why you’re there or who you’re doing it for…. Yes I am grateful to be alive but apart of me just feels gone. Hopefully it all grows back. I cocoon and turn into something beautiful with a new start for myself.  This is just my little story I wanted to share. I wish you all the very best with your treatments and sending you all lots of support and good vibes. Thank you.  ... View more
