Dawn Rising: treatment...

treatment...

kicked my tush this time. Very tire today. ALL DAY. It always seems that the day after is the worst. Hopefully 2mrw will be fine. The tips of two of my fingers on my right had are still numb and tingling. It's been this way since Thursday night. The doc said to just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse to let them know. It's a side effect of one of the chemos I had. No idea which one. That's all for now.

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
