Hodgkins Lymphoma, marriage and children-it was meant to be like that


As soon as diagnosed at the age of twenty-five s-Hodgkins Lymphoma, I was sure that my love life would have been on the agenda during my two and a half year of the Protocol. Life as a cancer, and he hoped that one day, marriage and children may be part of my future looked more like a fantasy than a reality.

I found one or two days with someone and end what could be a potential relationship. What if I found that I was stigmatized with Hodgkins Lymphoma, a cancer-free and ran to hide? How would you feel it? How devastated I should be? Could handle such a rejection based on my health status and appearance? Marriage? The Children? These questions are far from superficial and barraged the mind. They were real, directly to the core. It was the fear of rejection, humiliation and the ideas of what the Lord wants a girlfriend bald, gray, and for the treatment of cancer?

I had a good wig and with some make-up nobody's been able to say that I was trying to survive cancer. I was young, bars, parties and every other social function of the predstavitelných twenty-five years. The cancer stopped me there. It's just me, to prevent the relationship; in fact it was I who prevented me in the relation. During this time, I gave a cancer too much power. Till I met Ronnie. I never would have expected that within nine months, post-Hodgkins Lymphoma diagnosis, love is in bloom and completely change your life. Yes, it was meant to be.

When Ronnie first asked me out, I was very uncomfortable. He wanted me to let go of the feelings of uncertainty, I let me check, as I was on my way to survive cancer. I could see how my diagnosis of cancer and was inspired by how I was able to keep a smile on my face every time he saw me. He was glad his reactions; However, at that time I couldn't make the break through a vulnerable state. As a result, I refused to go with him, thinking that I was doing him a favor. Mentally and emotionally still my love life on hold. It was about six months; However, during that time we became best friends. We went to the movies together, eat, golf course, just enjoying each other's company.
Regardless-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Ronnie remained persistent and helped me to understand that deserve to be happy in every aspect of my life.

He knew that I wanted to be with him, as if he wanted to be with me. It was absurd that someone like him, that would have me as a girl, a hairless and with her gray skin. He gave me the confidence to be safe with our relationship, how it has progressed further, finally culminating in true love. Became my stone and never asked for anything in return only my health and happiness. We are together on the anniversaries, and sixteen months later we had our first of three * miracle * children.

We feel so strongly about our relationship, if not stronger than before. We have the ability to have children, something they were doctors, that some would never happen. The Protocol should give a cancer of the body, twenty-five years old in post-menopausal women. Love and appreciation I have for my husband and children will never be taken for granted, not to live with cancer. Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, marriage and children ~ it should be.
