I did it. The first time ever, really. I fell. I stood up quickly from the couch. I made it to the island. I hollered for help but all I heard was j holler back. I didn't sense help was coming, though obviously it was, so instead of sitting myself safely on the floor and lying down, which would have been an admission of my body being in control, I somehow, don't remember, got my coconut h20 to take my meds before flinging myself into my bedroom where everything is soft and safe. But its not. I passed out. Hit my shin on the bedframe. Now I'm in bed. Maybe I need to be admitted to get over this hurdle. I haven't gotten any supportive care like fluids. I'm taking supplements, but its all pills. I need to get my strength before considering chemo. Tomorrow I'm calling my local doc, maybe dr A about my GVHD. I should have a specialist. That's how I've conquered gvhd so far, mb that needs to happen again.

Baldies' Blog began originally in the UK by a 26 year old journalist with a blood cancer on a mission to inform the world about bone marrow donation.
He has since died, and I took on the cause of making cancer care more transparent for everybody.
Cancer is a disease that will touch everybody through diagnosis or affiliation: 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed and 1 in 3 woman will hear those words, "You Have Cancer."
I invite you to read how I feel along my journey and
how I am continuing to live a full life alongside my Hodgkin's lymphoma, with me controlling my cancer, not my cancer controlling me.
I hope that "Baldies' Blog" will prepare you to handle whatever life sends you, but especially if it's the message, "You Have Cancer."
