I just got a notice in the mail indicating my head scan results are normal!! Even though this doesn't take away the daily headaches, at least I know nothing crazy is going on up there. Good News!
My body is just under more stress then I can fully understand and it is showing up in the form of headaches. Maybe Dr. Chen can recommend some other things I can do about it in my appointment tomorrow?? Either way, I am very happy about the results.

Hi Erin! I think Sharon White told you about me, but I wanted to reach out personally and let you know that I love your "kick cancer's ass" vibe! I'm so glad that you are staying strong and positive. I know for a fact that it's really the way to go. I was diagnosed with hodgkins in 2005 when I was 26. I'm sure your docs have told you this, but they say that if you have to get cancer, it's the one to get because it's so beatable. I was supposed to only do 6 months of chemo and then be done, but I ended up doing the 6 months, plus a stem cell transplant and 5 weeks of radiation. In the end though, I came through with flying colors! I am a year and a half post treatment now and my scans have all been clear - I get scanned every 6 months now and only have to do CT scans...no more PET scans, which is nice! I'm happy to share more with you, if you'd like. And please, if I can be of any help or answer any questions you may have, please feel free to email me at jshu20@yahoo.com. Besides supporting cancer fundraisers and charities, I really feel that sharing my experience is one of the best things that I can do to help other young women who end up with this diagnosis. Stay strong!!!
