Hey @darshsingh1! It’s great to hear from you! Wow, what a difference a year and a half can make! I’m thrilled you’re doing so well after your treatments for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and life is returning to normal.

Congratulations on the internship with the law office. They are lucky to have you. Though I know internships can be pretty rough. They test your mettle! But you were such a trooper to keep pushing forward with your education even while in treatment. That shows amazing fortitude. So you’re going to do great with this job! Will it potentially lead to you to joining that firm?

Really cool that you’re getting fit and healthy again by weight lifting. Chemo can take its toll on our bodies for sure. I know I lost bone density and muscle mass during my treatments. Weight lifting helped significantly with both! Exercise is wonderful for our mental health too! So keep up the outstanding work you’re doing…both career-wise and your health!

I’m doing really well, thank you for asking! I’m just a couple days shy of my 7th Re-birthday with my bone marrow transplant. At 72 I’m feeling fabulous, energetic and at my physical last month I checked the “Excellent Health” box in the health questionnaire! That was my walk on the wild side. 😅 But I no longer feel like a cancer patient.

I love getting updates like yours. What you’re sharing can be so helpful to other young cancer patients. Your story can offer the much needed encouragement and hope Hodgkin’s Lymphoma patients! So thank you for popping in for visit today! This set a really happy tone for my entire day. ☺️

As a side note, we’ve had discussions here on whether to tell people at our work place about what we’ve dealt with if we’ve gone through a dramatic cancer story. I was retired at the time so that was a moot issue for me. But some people choose to keep their history private so they’re not treated differently. I do know from my own experience, I tend not to say much about my situation in conversation outside of Connect. Because when people do find out I had cancer and a transplant, that’s all the conversation is ever about. My health. As cancer survivors, most of us don’t want to be defined by our journey. We are survivors and over-comers first! Just curious, have you told anyone at work about your medical adventure of the past year?
