About Me:: I am a two time Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor and one of the Crazy Sexy Cancer chicks featured in Kris's amazing documentary.

It was such a help to hear about someone (and see them with my own eyes) going through the same things I am going through. I don't hear a lot of "Hodgkin's" stories (which is really a good thing right?).

Again, congratulations! :)

My doc put me on prednisone last Friday and let me tell ya, it works so much better then the inhaler he gave me the week before. Good news is I don't have pnumonia, but I failed my pulmonary function test so they couldn't get a good enough reading. They did say my lungs appeared swollen in the x-ray though. I never knew lungs could get swollen, hahaha! The prednisone makes me sleep all day which is weird to me cause I was warned that it may make me not want to sleep. So I don't know if its just my body needing to rest or some kind of goofy side affect for me. But it has stimulated my appetite some and now I eat a little more.
Hugs & prayers!

At 11:34am on April 30, 2008, Anna said…: Hi Melissa, I hope this finds you well! Since our situations were so similar, I was wanting to ask you something about how was your appetite after your stc? I'm on day 63 of mine and its still not back. I don't get hungry at all and force myself to eat. My oncologist says I'm right where I should be and it does take a while, but I thought that by this time I would of been more hungry. Does that make sense?
Hugs & Prayers!

At 4:12pm on April 13, 2008, Anna said…: OMG!! Congratulations, what wonderful news! I'm sure the new baby will be just as cute as your son (what a cutie he is!) But for me, it did put me into menopause. I had my hormone levels checked and they are consistent with a woman in menopause, but I'm ok with that. I have 2 kids already. My son is 14 and my daughter is 11 (12 in June), and I had a tough pregnancy with her. I was on bedrest the whole pregnancy and was told all kinds of horrible things that may happen. None of them did. She was born small, and she is still 'petite', but let me tell you, that's the only thing small about her, hahaha! Needless to say, I could not risk another pregnancy being on bedrest and trying to raise the kids I already have. But I still get my fill of taking care of babies, I'm a nanny for a family who has been with me for 11 years.
Hugs & Prayers!

At 1:23pm on April 12, 2008, Melissa Gonzalez said…: Thank you. That is nice of you to here. I am due with my second baby in August. The transplant did not leave me infertile. Just thought you might like to know that!

At 12:07pm on April 12, 2008, Anna said…: Thank you Melissa! You stay well to!
You should know, your story keeps me going some days. Thank you for being in Kris' documentary!
Hugs & Prayers,
Anna

At 1:02pm on April 11, 2008, Anna said…: Hi Melissa,
I am so glad I found you here. Out of all the gals in Kris' documentary, I relate to you the most cause our situations were similar. I am currently on day 44 of my stem cell transplant. I am also a Hodgkin's survivor, twice over.
Hugs & Prayers!

Like when she was attempting to give her first needle and your mom was getting the camera to take a picture... lol even now I'm giggling. Sounds like an awesome, crazy family to be apart of. How is your little guy? Getting much bigger I see!
