Was diagnosed in Feb.2009-non hodgkins.......

Well, like I said I was diagnosed in Feb....well but the thing is I knew a year ago I had it! I went to over 17 doctors and not one believed me! Not until I had my tonsils out in Jan. and of couse my worst nightmare did finally come out. I've been in treatment for 3months so far and I have 2 treatments more. I cant wait til the treatments are over! Its hell and I hate it! I just want my life back...I'm a good person, and I live my life to the fullest everyday...I never take anything for granted. So its hard to adjust to all of this...knowing I have to live with this for the rest of my life.

Since the early 1970s, incidence rates for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma have nearly doubled. Improved diagnosis has contributed greatly to the increase as doctors better understand cancer of lymphocytes and can distinguish it from other diseases.
