I am going to be done with my treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2 days!  The radiation machine was broken on Monday, so I will have my very last radiation on Thursday.

As per the title of this article, I have some good and bad news.  Well, the bad isn't really bad yet.  It turns out that I have a cyst on my thyroid gland.  A doctor noticed it over a year ago when I had the ultrasound that diagnosed my lymphoma.  I just had another ultrasound last week and my doctor confirmed it.  I have to have a needle biopsy of the cyst to make sure it isn't cancerous.  My doctor says the chances are minimal (95% of thyroid cysts are non-cancerous and I have no symptoms) but we have to check to make sure.  I'm having the biopsy done on Thursday; I'm not too excited about the procedure. 

My good news (other than almost being done with radiation) is that I got into the graduate school program I applied for (even with my chemo GRE scores!)  I am going to get my masters in public health, specialize in epidemiology, and do cancer epidemiology which is using statistics to determine the causes of different cancers (in a nutshell).

So I will post the results of my thyroid biopsy later.
