<p>Hi all, First I am not so young.&nbsp; I am 49.&nbsp; I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on August 14, 2006.&nbsp; I was going to school at the College of Mount Saint Joseph in Delhi&nbsp; Cincinnati, Ohio.&nbsp; I had a tumor the size of a baseball attached to my small intestine.&nbsp; It was revealed by a CAT scan when I went to the ER.&nbsp; Later the PET scan showed 7 lesions on my spleen and liver.</p> <p>Good Samaritan Hospital has been the best hospital, I had the best oncologist Dr. James Maher.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I did not know the hardest part comes after the 8 consecutive chemotherapy treatments.&nbsp; I gained weight like Toni.&nbsp; I was not allowed to go to school or work.&nbsp; I am still having CAT scans every three months and I have just gone back to school part-time.&nbsp;</p> <p>I myself, questioning as to what God has in store for me.&nbsp; My hair has finally grown back but now I have skin cancer that I had before the tumor was caught.</p> <p>&nbsp; Community out there, I need your strength.</p> <p>My classmate from the I have Wings Breast Cancer Foundation has been the most awesome woman having been a survivor herself along with other friends.of mine.</p> <p>God bless you all.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Janette Anneken</p> <p>P.S.&nbsp; I am the one in the middle,&nbsp; the old lady.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Janette Anneken</p>

Tori was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in April 2003. Attending college away from home, she traveled to all of her appointments alone, including a lengthy drive each month to see a specialist. Toni’s health and emotional well-being deteriorated, and she returned home to recover. On her arrival, she cared for her sister, who suffers from MS, and began working at a daycare facility. Tori found within herself a sense of empathy and determination she didn’t realize she possessed before her diagnosis, and she continually strives to instill all she’s gained in others.
