So I've been home for an entire week...
Things are getting better every day. A full night's rest every night for the past 6 nights has certainly helped. My appetite is certainly improving, however my taste is still lacking. Little by little!
Because of the beautiful weather I've been trying to go for walks, and Friday morning I hit the driving range. Being a bit too ambitious, I got myself a large bucket of balls... which ends up being 135 golf balls. Ya know, you don't realize how many 135 golf balls is until they're staring you in the face. I certainly bit off more then I could chew. Not realizing how much energy I didn't have, I had to take a break about every 10 balls. None the less, it was good to get out into the fresh air.
Yesterday morning when I woke up was a different story. Those golf balls did a number on me. My legs, back, side, shoulders, neck, and arms were KILLING me. Soooo sore. haha, serves me right. Next time perhaps a small bucket of balls. :-)
I'm also making a pretty good dent in my coursework and writing a paper as we speak. So before I get too distracted, let me get back to that.
Hasta la pasta!
This blog documents my treatment as I try to balance life and school while being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The purpose of this blog is to keep my family and friends updated as I undergo treatment for this disease.

Before we get started
I just want everyone to keep in mind a few things as you read these posts...
I Am Faithful
While some may see this as a life altering event, I do not.
I firmly believe that this is simply a struggle that has been placed in my life that I must endure.
When something like this happens, you really tend to question how much you trust God in your own life. As I sat in bed the first night after being diagnosed I said to myself, "Self, you have cancer. YOU have CANCER!! Shouldn't that scare you?" And I searched my heart. I found no fear, I found no worries, and I found no concerns. Cancer is big, but it is no match for God.
I am able to continue in high spirits because deep in my heart I know that God will provide and he will bring me through. He has already blessed me with the greatest care imaginable combined with the family and friends to support me as I continue on this journey.
In Conclusion
I don't want anyone to be worried or concerned for me.
I'm not worried, heck the doctor's aren't even worried! Therefore you shouldn't be either.
The last thing I want to do is scare anyone with my condition.
I'm hoping that through this blog I can put everyone's minds at ease as my treatment continues.
