I was just reading my beginning of my blog - wow, I really blurted my words out of my head because I had NO energy to type at that time so I typed FAST (alias I meowed with effort) before I went to bed to rest!!! I made it by doing that in 3 minutes, grins!! Hope I made sense.
Anyway, every week, I get more tired since about June. Last July, I learned that my daughter, Leah would get a leadership award on July 7th (on her birthday) at the National Association of the Deaf convention in Philadelphia. I knew with limited energy I had, I had to go and see her get it. Luckily, my son, Daniel was able to drive us there. I was able to hold up well and enjoyed meeting people until the last day, I just crashed. After coming home, I was having body pains. I had my lymph node biopsy surgery done as planned on July 30th. I went back to work. Without warning, I barely was able to drive then on Tuesday, I asked Daniel to drive me to work, suddenly, I became too dizzy, I gave up and went back home. On August 6th, I got informed that I have Hodgkins Lymphoma. I was shocked and my life changed in an instant and realize how precious Life is. I learned that this disease is highly treatable (90%). I was too weak to go back to work and that was the last time I was in office and did not even had chance to talk to anyone before going on medical leave which I felt was pretty cut off. But I was feeling in a survivable mode ready to fight. Next came a full week of tests and doctor appointments to get my ball rolling for treatment.
