Battle Against Hodgkin's
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where
he stands in moments of comfort and conveniences,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Welcome to my site! On September 28, 2005, just weeks into my sophomore year at the University of Pennsylvania, I was diagnosed with
Stage 4B Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. I underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments
at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) for eight months. On July 10, 2006, I received word that
my post-treatment PET scan came back negative. Almost ten months after being diagnosed, I was declared in remission. My post-treatment
scans since then have all come back clean as well, and I am optimistic that I will live the rest of my life cancer-free.

To the left, you will find my Health Journal, which I have kept ever since being diagnosed. I hope you find it to be a wonderful resource. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to talk. I would like to thank everyone for their prayers, support, and encouragement throughout my battle with cancer. I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate it. You have all been such a wonderful source of strength to me!
