Today, I’m celebrating an anniversary of sorts. Seven years ago today, I started a blog because had just been diagnosed with the “incurable” disease of Follicular B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I wanted to let my friends and family know what was going on and my feelings. That blog was on Blogger. I moved it to my site and you can still read it, but because the entries are in date descending order, it is a little difficult to read. So I spent some time and rearranged the text and put it in story-form. I have saved it in a pdf that you can read: Dick Donohue – My Lymphoma Story.pdf I try to re-read my own story every year because it helps me to realize what an incredible move of God I was experiencing.
Today, I am still cancer-free, due to the grace of God and the prayers of friends and family. So once again, I say thank you to God because I know that only God can cure incurable forms of cancer. And I say thank you to all the friends and family that prayed for me – you know who you are. I owe the last seven years of my life, in part, to you.
God bless us, every one.
