HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I start chemo on the 11th of January, I have to be there at 8am for a radiation appointment... not sure what that’s for just yet, treatment will start at 11am and should last about 3 hours. .I suppose I should get used to spending time in doctors offices. I get my port (aka funnel) put in on the 10th at 8am. Ron's mom is taking me. I am nervous about that. Another surgery. Not sure how long treatment will be at this point. Going over the results of the bone marrow biopsy and the PET scan on the 11th w/the doc. Last I heard it would be 3 or 4 months. Hopefully that count doesn't increase. I don't want to loose my hair. I am getting it chopped off on the 4th.... 2 days. Hailey is getting her hair cut too. That will be good times. I am nervous and anxious. I am not sleeping well. Thank you for reading.

My Story
My name is Dawn Robertson, I am 28 years old. I live in Marysville, WA. My daughter Hailey is 6 years old. My husband and I have been together for 12 years. He is my rock. Ron, my husband, has been so strong through our journey. But boy are things getting tough. It all started in November 2007, I went in for a random check up, I had just gotten insurance through my work. I had only went in there to have my back checked out, I have arthritic spurs in my spine, had been having a lot of pain and thought with the insurance now I better get checked out. Not being a big fan of doctor’s offices I wanted to get in and out. The doctor at the Everett Clinic insisted I have a physical, considering I didn’t recall the last time I had one he thought it would be a good idea. After a few pokes and prods the doctor feels my neck…. A good size mass is in the right side of my neck…. What’s that? I ask, I don’t know, he says…. and this begins the story of Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

It's not ending.... 4 different chemo treatments, 2 different radiation treatments, a stem cell transplant, and they still are not sure if they "got it".

Still haven't "got it". Clinical trial now. Running out of options. http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00601718?term=NCT00601718&rank=1
