Many members of my family have suffered with cancer during their lives, some of which are no longer with us and now I am joining them. I have recently been diagnosed with stage 2E Hodgkin's Lymphoma and am due to start Chemotherapy on the 29th of January. The treatment I will be receiving will possibly cause me to lose my hair, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and turn a negative into a positive by braving the shave and raising money for Macmillan. My battle against cancer has only Just begun and I have already experienced the support that Macmillan offers, which without I would be lost. It is my hope that any money raised will help Macmillan support the millions of people suffering with cancer in the UK every year.
