I'm a Cancer Survivor

2008.04.10

I was diagnosed on February 14, 2007 with advanced stage Hodgkin's Disease. I did eight cycles (16 rounds) of chemotherapy and finished in late September. I still wear my yellow Livestrong and red Leukemia and Lymphoma Society wristbands, however. I chose to leave the bands brightly colored because I wish there was more awareness for rarer and misunderstood types of cancer like Hodgkin's Disease. Plus, even though I am in remission, cancer still dominates my life in a myriad of ways.

lmruppert Powerful image. Such a sharp contrast from all your other posts it actually has stopped me in my tracks. I suspect that what cancer does. You're just living your life....Great work.

camilleauteuil I was very touched when I read your message. I survived something serious myself (it was not a disease) - and since I consider every morning as a gift. I wish you a lot of courage and I send you a smile. ALL your photos are beautiful ...

LotoFoto This photo is amazing and apparently, so are you.
Congratulations on being a survivor and I can only begin to understand how much it still must dominate your life. For that, I am sorry.
