End of April 2010





So.... It is amazing how life can change in a heartbeat with little to no warning... One month I'm having a fabulous ski vacation with family and friends in Vermont and Quebec, and then a month later, I'm in the hospital with a crazy swollen neck, later to be diagnosed with Hodgkins' Lymphoma. Over the last 4 weeks, I have been through a rainbow of emotions and overwhelmed by the support from friends and family. Inspired by a friend/neighbour on my street who has been maintaining a blog during her battle with breast cancer over the last year - I thought that this might be a great way to keep in touch & it can be a way to keep anyone who is interested in keeping up to date with information and a great way for me personally to keep a journal to this crazy ride that I'm going to have to go through - So, my plan is to try to update this fairly regularly, and I hope that you will all keep me entertained with humour throughout -

  3. Great idea Kelly! I'm sure it's overwhelming to have to tell so many people the same story over and again. Now we can all stay up to date without bothering you! heeheee...

    Love you and miss my office buddy!

  4. Hey Beautiful Kelly.
    Robin sent me the link to your blog.... I am floored by your news sweetie. Know that you are always in my thoughts and in my heart.... you always have been!
    Half the battle will be fighting the ridiculous health care system we have here, so make sure your family takes that on like pitbulls. Then, you focus on healing.
    email me..... with your phone number. I will get Allison to call you. She's been through this as well.... 13 years ago. She knows the process and the players involved. She also understands the gamut of emotions that will accompany your journey.....

    "You just call out my name, and you'll know wherever I am......I'll come running...."

    love you.
