During chemotherapy treatment last year I decided that I would train for an endurance event with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) when my health improved. After remission rolled around and I felt up to the challenge, I signed up with LLS's Team In Training (TNT) program to participate in a half marathon. This past weekend I completed a total of 13.1 miles at the Long Branch Half Marathon and

Most people would consider going through cancer treatment one of the toughest things a person can face in their lifetime; your body becomes ill and you must deal with the accompanied stress and uncertainty of your health. Once a cancer patient is considered to be in remission, most people believe it becomes easier to deal with, however, the road from remission to normalcy may sometimes be as

So it seems that allowing people to read about my journey through cancer was short-lived since the last time I posted was in October. Since then a lot has happened: I completed chemotherapy, celebrated a few holidays, started radiation, and secured a job as an SAT tutor. As of late, I have been feeling a lot better and my primary oncologist has stated that according my most recent CT and PET

I often attempt to research information about Hodgkin's Disease on the internet. Reading blogs and posts by others who have gone through similar problems as mine helps me learn about the disease and also reaffirms that I am not as alone as I think. Since I've recently gotten a job, I started researching information related to cancer and employment to see what I could find. What I found was that

In the past 24 hours, I have had an overwhelming response to the initial blog I wrote about my journey through cancer. There has been an outpouring of emails, instant messages, text messages, and phone calls thanking me for writing about my situation and asking, if possible, how people can help me feel more supported while I continue medical treatment for Hodgkin's disease. I would first like to

Starting this blog is probably harder for me than most people might think. In August of this year, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a blood cancer that attacks the lymphatic system of the body. For someone who has never had a medical issue in their entire life, this reality threw me for quite the emotional and physical loop. What made it even harder for me was that before I was diagnosed
