I am 21 years old, I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, and July 29th 2020 I finished chemo and a month later was declared in remission/NED! I got engaged during treatment to the man of my dreams and am getting married in April 2021. I used to write all the time through middle school and high school but fell away as I graduated. After diagnosis at 20 and through treatment I got back into writing and found a different way of expressing how I felt by writing poetry. Writing has given me a place I can be to let everything go, good or bad. Thats why I started my blog CancerCouple to document not only my poems but what life is like in the life of a 21 year old cancer fighter and survivor stepping into her marriage and the world again!
