So today, after 10 weeks of tests, I received my diagnosis-Hodgkins stage 3. We've told friends and family, but still deciding how to tell our children (5 and 8). I have a lot more pre chemo tests, bloods, heart and breathing scan, PET scan and the dreaded bone marrow biopsy. The whole thing feels enormous right now-treatment, side effects, practical matters and so on. Apparently the prognosis is good, although it's still scary. The macmillan nurse at the hospital was really helpful though, it's just a lot to take in.
