National Blog Posting Month

Hi (once) baldies

Hello.

Deep breath.

So. My name is Jennic. I had Hodgkin's when I was 24. I had just gotten married (in the church) 10 weeks before that. Graduated, got a job, bought a house within the 6 months period leading up to the big friggin event (Nov 2000). Did all the necessary chemo, radiation, installed a port, got 'deported' and kept my port. First person in my extended/immediate family to have cancer of any sort. It was tough. I puked 6 days out of every 14 for six months.

That was then.

Now we have 2 kids ages 2 and 4. We run a online toy store business full time (just launched less than a month ago!!!) Dedicated to donate to cancer charities / children related charities with each and every order that we receive. Life is good.

I have some lasting side effects like minor neuropathy in my hands/fingers and toes. I have been postponing my mammo - since I had mantle field radiation it is recommended that I start the mammo yearly after turning 30.

What else? I'll let someone else take a turn :-)

An update on what is happening now...Tuesday more blood work...Thursday hopefully admission into the hospital for the stem cell transplant. They managed to harvest enough cells to do two transplants. John did catch a cold over the holidays which turned into pneumonia so the admission is pending on how well he is recovered. He needs to be 100 percent.There is sure a lot of waiting involved in this process. We are getting good at it. Thank you for caring.It always blows me away at how kind everybody is.
