On January 20, 2011 our lives were forever changed.

Our sixteen year old son, Taylor, was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma.

This is his story.

CHEMO

Taylor had his first chemo treatment today.  The whole appointment took about 6 hours.  The actual chemo about 2 hours 45 minutes.  Today's treatment consisted of four drugs.  Two which were given through his port and two which he will take orally.  One for a week and the other for two.

As always, Taylor was the perfect patient.  Never asking for anything and always saying thank you.  He is doing relatively well.  We made it home and through the rest of the evening without him throwing up.  He is doing much better than I could have ever imagined.

We received word as we were driving to the hospital that his bone marrow tests had come back negative.  This means that Taylor's cancer is a Stage IIB, not the possible IVB that was feared.  We are so relieved and know that this is an answer to the many prayers that have been offered in our behalf.
