My name is Dawn Begun I am 29 years old and I was re-diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in February 2015. Hodgkin’s disease does not typically reoccur as fast as is has with me, My oncologist had never had a patient that had a reoccurrence, let alone one that reoccurred two months after completing chemotherapy.
Since my cancer is more aggressive than what is typical, I will have to undergo a bone marrow transplant, as well as stronger more intense doses of chemotherapy. I will have to stay three weeks in the hospital for the transplant and will have many pre-treatment and follow up visits with the doctors that are about 90 miles (one way) away.
Because of these hardships I am asking for any help possible. Since the doctors’ offices are so far away I need help with transportation, lodging and expenses from being unable to work. Support, prayers and positive vibes are all appreciated! With your help I can kick cancers butt for once and for all!
