 Jolene Jonasen BA, BSc, PGDipCom |
Hi guys, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 19. I was in my second year of university studying for a degree in psychology. I was a typical teenage girl; sociable, independent, interested in my appearance and interested in boys. Although, statistically Hodgkin's has a very high survival rate, the news was nevertheless life-changing. Hodgkin's Lymphoma is one of the most common types of cancer affecting young people. There isn't as much support targeted to this age group; most of the support is either targeted to children and young teens or much older adults. If you feel isolated, this book can help change that. There is no need to feel this way. A decade later, and my experience has inspired me to write a guide for others. My book is different from the other resources available that focus solely on the medical and psychological aspects of cancer. It is tailored to beating Hodgkin's Lymphoma* and it is from an insider's perspective. I trust that my book will help you through. |

10 Years Later

After Hodgkin's I returned to university and completed three degrees. I have been working as a public sector analyst for five years. I got married last year, I have a wonderful relationship with my family, and I am still very close to the same friends who supported me through Hodgkin's. I'm a Hodgkin's survivor and I'm living my life. |
