Hi everyone, I created a blog so that I can document how being sick has been and is affecting my life. For those of who don't know I was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma. Lymphoma is a cancer that is in your lymphatic system. It affects the bodies ability to remove waste from your body and also affects areas of the body ranging from the neck, cheast, arm pits, sturnum, and reproductive areas. My prognosis is excellent!! The doctor is even using the word cure.
I feel that I have been given a real wake up call. God works in mysterious ways sometimes and even though my family, friends, and I have had to go through a lot of hurt through this process God has always had a plan. I have never felt closer to God as I have in the past few months and give him praise for showing his unending love and grace!!
It is in most heartbreaking and difficult times in our lives that the scope and warmth of human compassion and love can be found! I have been so blessed with the overwhelming support and love I have been shown by so many people! I am truly thankful for all of you who have stuck by me in these hard times! I can't tell you all thank you enough for everything you've done!!
Thanks for doing this Nick -- I have been wanting to ask about when the next treatment was, but hate to remind you of it when you might be able to block it out. I think you're finding out what we did when Robyn was injured -- the people of Bullock Creek are the greatest in the world for being there even if you barely knew them before. I will never lose the sense of support we felt through one of the most difficult periods for our family -- despite it, most of our memories are of the way we were cared for at that time. I do think the difficult times are when you find out the most important things out about life. I would also say that some of that is a result of who you are and you were always a pretty great guy, with or without adversity. Love ya.
