About Down With Lumpy - My Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cancer Fight
In 2015, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and it changed my life forever...in a good way. This podcast is a revisiting of that experience with detailed information about my treatment, emotions and overall cancer journey, with the added perspective of being a cancer survivor for five years now. Thanks for listening and Down With Lumpy!
In which I magically receive my third chemo infusion despite a week of low-grade fevers!

Down With Lumpy - Revisiting My Cancer Fight (TRAILER)
It was almost five years ago that I fought and beat Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Throughout the experience, I wrote detailed blog posts (https://rounding30.wordpress.com/hodgkins-lymphoma-cancer-blog/) about my day-to-day experience of treatment as well as the physical, emotional and spiritual sides of my cancer fight. As I (hopefully) come to the five-year survivor finish line in July as officially "cured," I thought I would record audio versions of my blog posts (along with a five-year reflective perspective) so that others could hear my story. I'm especially hopeful that it will reach podcast listeners who are going through this process themselves.
Thanks for listening and subscribing! Down With Lumpy!
