So this is my first post. Of course, lots and lots has been happening. Tomorrow is chemo treatment number 4. So far, each treatment has been nicer than the last and I'm hoping that keeps up.
You can see my lovely bald head in the picture, there's still some hair stubble there. I've got a lot less now, but I need to shave my head every day so I don't have weird patches of hair on my head. This is very important because I've stopped wearing hats! I'll wear one when it's chilly or I just think it would look cute. But I'm not wearing them simply for the sake of covering my head anymore. Took me about 3 weeks to get to that point, but now that my shiny head doesn't look absolutely freakish to me anymore, I feel fine showing it off. Ooh, and a plus side, I no longer need to shave my legs. =)

I am a graduate student at GATech. I study physical oceanography and am particularly interested in biological systems. For those that don't know, it's basically physics, and no going "eww math!" at me.
In the beginning of March '07 during my second semester, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It's actually not that bad... or at least it's not as traumatic as I'd have thought something like this would be before actually getting it. So I made a blog spot to kinda keep track of everything that's going on and post nice baldie photos of myself. =)
Edit: Ok, it's August now and I'll admit it has been somewhat traumatic. But I've been managing.

This is good news, no shaving. Sounds like a respectable silver lining to me.
