On monday 8/10 i went in for a biopsy of one of my lymphnodes. After a few days of waiting my doctor told me i had stage II Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. My first reaction was “Damn this isn’t good”. But she constantly reassured us that its one of the most curable cancers so it was a little easier to swallow. I have always had an optimistic attitude about life so I’m glad to say this hasn’t hit me as hard as my family and friends have taken it. I know i’m ready to take this on with everything I’ve got so its been easy to reassure everyone else. However somethings are still eating at me. The obvious questions are still kicking around in my head, mainly “Why Me”? I’m very healthy 21 year old college student. I’ve been an athelete all my life, i smoke and drink rarely, and am in otherwise great health. So how did i get Cancer. I feel this question will haunt me for the rest of my life. Even if i beat this i don’t know if i can get it out of my head. My life is about to change, and i will never understand why.
