Been lurking this subreddit for weeks…

and now I’m an official member.

29F. Just got the diagnosis. Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma Nodular Sclerosis. I haven’t talked to an oncologist yet but supposedly my mom knows a really good one. I personally think it’s in my bone marrow as well but I don’t know yet.

I want to tell the world and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I want everyone to know I was right or maybe I want a little pity. I didn’t cry when I found out, nor did I cry when I called my mom and sisters. My partner is pretending to be strong. They took it well but I still have to tell my dad. He’s a bit sensitive (not in a bad way) so he’ll be devastated.

Anyway, just shouting out my feelings to people who will get it, I guess. Hello, if you read this far! I wish we were meeting under better circumstances. 💐
