Stem cell transplant

Hey Everyone!What I am about to share is a bit difficult for me. Not everyone may know that I was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in March 2020.  I had liquid tumors behind my kidneys, along my back bones, spots in my ribs, the middle of my back, groin, and neck. I have to say I was scared beyond belief.  I did not know what I was in for.   A lot of folks stepped up to support me, shout out to friends, family, and Child Care Algoma.I want to say that I am great full I am going through this experience.  Its has shown me in more detail how I react to stress (poorly) , how I have ignored some of my shadow side, and how strong I really am to face adversity.  It has forced me to ask for help.  It has forced me to accept that I am valued, in times when I lacked support, and physically ill, I had to continue to cultivate it from within.  It has forced me to never settle or put up with toxicity.  I was technically homeless at one point sleeping in peoples couches during treatment.  (thank you homeies) I created this experience and need to learn from it. So now I have gone through 6 months of chemo and am waiting for a PET scan on the 11th of November to let me know if the chemo has killed it all.  And I already know it has effected my immunity and left me at risk for cancers in the future.   I cannot take for granted that it may not be all gone yet, but am focusing my mind on being cured.  I am in counselling to help me get through, as the chemo has left me in menopause and my hormones are now out of wack and attributing to mood swings.   I am taking yoga classes, getting massages etc.  I am taking supplements to boost my immune system and help my mood.   It is all helping.  Once I am in the clear I will be working with a naturopath to assist  improving my immune system as I was told it takes many month and even years to return to normal, if it does. If you are reading this know I am very great full for all of the support I already have had.   Many people have helped me along the way.   I am hoping to raise a little money to help with my recovery.   Times are tough for a lot of people these days, I know.   I feel shy to ask, but with my birthday coming up on November 7th I thought if you were thinking of getting me a little something, you know what I would ask for.  No expectations.  Any funds raised will be used for recovery help.  Anything left over will be donated to another person with cancer.Thank you for even just taking the time to read this.   Thank you for having me in your thoughts.  Thank you for donating or not donating if you do not feel called too.   I have all that I need within.  Everything else is a bonus.  Love Kate / KaliP. S.  I have changed my name to Kali.Also, if I have ever hurt you by my actions, and you are still living with it, I am sorry.   Message me.  Lets clear the air.Love and light,Kali
