At the age of 33, my husband, Dave, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. A trip to the ER with stomach pain led to a 10 day hospital stay that was only the beginning of our journey. We have two children, who turned 4 and 2 during the cancer journey, and who provide an endless source of joy, even on the worst of days. We serve an amazing God who has greatly blessed us along the way.
This is our story.
Note: So that you get his perspective of each round of chemo along with what I wrote about it, I have inserted Dave's journal entries by the date they were written instead of the date I posted them.
