Those of you, who have been following along may have an idea where this post is going. For the new readers however here is some back story. Some time ago I was diagnosed with stage 2.5 Hodgkin Lymphoma. And soon after, I\u00a0started\u00a0chemotherapy to remedy the situation.<\/p>\n

Some of you may be wondering, how on earth do you get a stage 2.5 disease? Some of you may say, that’s not even possible. Well let me explain. Initially the doctors expected me to have stage two\u00a0Hodgkin Lymphoma. On my last visit to the hematologist, after getting my pet-ct scan, the hematologist told me the same, stage two, except that she thought there were a few new spots on the image close to my liver. She didn’t really want to call it stage three, in her hesitation, I called it stage 2.5, and we all had a good laugh. So from there on I called it Stage 2.5 Hodgkin Lymphoma.<\/p>\n

As you can see, anything is possible, even a stage 2.5 disease. What ever you want to achieve in life, put your mind to it, think positively, and you’ll start moving in that direction.<\/p>\n

Awesomeness your way.<\/p>\n
