It was one year ago that I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society call it Hodgkin's disease, but my oncologist called it lymphoma, so that's what I call it.
I was just starting at an internship at a public school. My supervisor was out of the room on her lunch break, and I sat alone, as I received a text message from the surgeon to call him. (He was a family friend, so I had his cell phone from other times). When he told me, I was surprisingly calm. I didn't cry. I just felt relieved. I finally had an answer to what I was going through for almost two years. And I knew it was going to get better. That I was going to get better.
One year!
