March 17th .. No longer just St. Patrick's Day

     March 17th will not mean green, leprechauns and St. Patrick's Day anymore. It is now D-day
(diagnosis day). The day we found out my husband has lymphoma.  The day everything changed...the life you were used to now turned upside down.  From that day on we have both been off of work. Lots of doctor appointments, lab work, and beginning 6 rounds of chemo. First round of chemo was on Good Friday, April 3, 2015. Thirteen days later we are in the hospital for 5 days with extremely low white blood cell counts. Lots of antibiotics and shots to boost white blood cells.
     Second round of chemo was to be April 24, 2015, however platelets were too low. Good news was the white blood counts were good!! So we get an extra week of recovery and chemo rescheduled for April 30, 2015. Nice for the extra week and Darren is feeling good!
     Feels like forever since we found out and it has only been 6 weeks... Life before diagnosis seems so far away. We have a new normal, a new countdown of time.. Every 3 weeks is chemo... Seems like we are always looking at the calendar and counting down til the next set of appointments and chemo... The new normal..
      With lots of prayers, lots of love and lots of essential oils we will combine that with the meds and chemo and we will beat this thing!! 💜

My husband's sister started a Go Fund Me page for us to help with the medical bills and with our day to day living. Feel free to share and thanks for taking the time to read!
