In the Face of Hodgkin's

Diana's face will now go from healthy to Hodgkins to healthy!

Spring of 1991 
A healthy face!
I was a brand new mom.

Winter of 1994 
A face hovering over an unknown year of Hodgkin's.
I was itchy itchy itchy!

Summer of 1995 
A very sick face with Hodgkin's.
I stopped being able to smile.
My unscratchable itching made me want to jump out of my skin.
Who knows what stage of Hodgkin's I was at this time.
Six more months went by before I got diagnosed with 4b Hodgkin's.

March of 1996 
My second head shaving.
My doctor friend, Veronica, shaved my head with a straight edge.
I maintained my shine with Vitamin E oil and home grown Aloe Vera.

 

1997
The face of a survivor.
This photo was taken in October 1997.
As you can see, I am feeling rather healthy and happy.
