Hello everyone,
my name is Robin, and I have lymphoma. (Sounds like a really bad TV support group introduction, doesn’t it π )
I’m a 29 year old woman from Toronto, Canada. I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (Diffuse Large B Cell – primary mediastinal subtype) back in June of this year, and I’ve been figuring out day by day how to live with it.
When it all started, my friend suggested that I start a blog to chronicle the events that occurred during this journey. That turned out to be one of the best things that I’ve done. Not only was it a great way of keeping everyone informed of what was going on, it was a fantastic outlet for me. I made sense of a lot of things just by writing about it. It’s also fun to be creative with words.
I’m happy to share my story with everyone here. I can’t promise that it is terribly interesting, but there is honesty and a lot of faith. All with a little humour, a lot of nerdisms and random references to an old TV show named Firefly.
