My Diagnosis: Hodgkin's Lymphoma
In short, it's a cancer of the lymphatic system, rapid irregular growth, yada yada yada.
Cancer is never good, but I'm told, as far as cancer's go, this is a "good one" to have.
I haven't yet had the guts to tell any nurse or doctor how much I loathe being told I have "good cancer."
If I let my initial impulse take over I'd have said something like "YEAH IF IT'S SO GOOD WHY DON'T YOU HAVE IT, HUH?!"
Instead I nod my head and say "that's good." I know they are trying to be optimistic, and the statistics do back up their claim.
Where it was once a death sentence, this is now one of the most curable cancer's around. Nothing is a cake walk in this world, but I know how lucky I am. Doesn't mean there won't be a fight or that I'm not prepared to have it. It just means I'm aware that it could easily be worse. Gotta celebrate the small victories.
I'm looking at 6 months of Chemo, more tests, and then make further determinations about treatment from there.
Here are some numbers. Also, fuck cancer.

Survival rates for Hodgkin disease by stage
Survival rates are often used by doctors as a standard way of discussing a person’s prognosis (outlook). Some people with Hodgkin disease may want to know the survival statistics for people in similar situations, while others may not find the numbers helpful, or might even not want to know them. If you do not want to see Hodgkin disease survival statistics, skip to the next section.
The rates below are based on the stage of the cancer when it is first diagnosed. When looking at survival rates, it’s important to understand that the stage of a cancer does not change over time, even if the cancer progresses. If a cancer comes back or spreads, the survival rates may be different from those shown below.
The 5-year survival rate is the percentage of patients who live at least 5 years after their cancer is diagnosed. Of course, many of these people live much longer than 5 years, and many are cured.
The numbers below are among the most current available. But to get 5-year survival rates, doctors have to look at people who were treated at least 5 years ago. Improvements in treatment since then might result in a better outlook for people now being diagnosed with these cancers.
The numbers below come from the National Cancer Institute’s SEER database, looking at more than 8,000 people diagnosed with Hodgkin disease between 1988 and 2001.
