Tests

This week is Exam Week at FSU and as I take these tests, I am reminded of another kind of test that I have coming up on the 21st of this month: a PET scan. The last scan I had was a CT this past March after being in a car accident. I believe this upcoming PET scan will mark one year since my last...and, not surprisingly, I am a bit nervous about the results. I find myself thinking about cancer more often...almost reminding myself. In general, before this upcoming scan business, my Hodgkin's experience is growing more and more a distant memory. It almost seems like it was just a dream. Which I think is probably a good thing, because it means that I am focusing on the present, and not living in fear every day. The upcoming scan does cast a little shadow of anxiety though, especially when I am feeling run down during a busy week like this one. I suppose I just wanted to write to vent about my worry. Ah, blog therapy. Continued health is what I would like more than anything else for Christmas! Make it happen, Santa. Please.

  2. Most of the lymphoma symptoms in women can be indications of other harmless conditions so be sure to consult your family doctor for a more complete assessment and diagnosis of any possible health conditions. Lymphoma, like many other forms of cancer can be difficult to diagnose due to the subtleness of its symptoms.
