Hi all!
As you may know, I am now a 2x Hodgkins's Lymphoma survivor!
Back in 2011, I found a lump in my neck. After being told it was benign, I returned to get it checked months later. After another biopsy and scans, it was discovered that I, in fact, had Stage 4 Hodgkins. I completed 6 months of chemotherapy and was officially in remission a year later.
Skip almost 10 years forward - I had a mammogram completed. I was called back the next morning. They had found enlarged lymph nodes in my right armpit area. A few days after the mammogram, my right breast and arm completed ballooned. I had never felt pain like that in my life. Because of this, they thought I had a rare form of breast cancer called Inflammatory Breast Cancer. This was the scariest thing I had ever heard. However, after some testing, they discovered it was not IBC, but it was Hodgkin's Lymphoma - again. The saddest part for me was, I was 2 weeks away from celebrating being 10 years cancer free, and even worse, the chances of a reoccurrence this many years later was extremely rare. It felt like life stopped all over again, and I felt defeated.
I waited to start my treatment after my sister's wedding. I didn't want to be sick for it - but boy was I swollen. I resembled a linebacker! This time around, treatment consisted of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. Stem Cell was something that could not be done in Windsor. I had to get it done in London, ON. The most difficult part about this was being away from my friends, family and my home. My family made it work, but it was not easy. I truly understand the importance of having these programs in Windsor - to have world class cancer care close to home.
The reason I agreed to be an Ambassador is because I truly believe in this cause. The Windsor Regional Cancer Centre is an amazing place (considering everything!). The building is well maintained, all amenities provided are essential, and the staff has always been amazing. The Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation does an amazing job at raising funds that are kept LOCAL to Windsor, to help provide these services, amenities, machines for treatment and world class cancer care closer to home.
Please consider donating. All funds will stay local to help you, your family, your friends, and your neighbors.
Thank you!
