Journal entry by Cheryl Hawkins

Hi everyone.  This is my story to date.  I had a bad cough for almost a year.  My doctors couldn't find any reason for the cough so I was referred to  Pulmonary Specialist.  After running tests, it was determined that I had some type of cancer.  I was referred to a Thoracic Surgeon who performed a biopsy and found that I had a Thymic Carcinoma  which is a cancer on my Thymus gland.  It is a rare and aggressive cancer.  I was scheduled for surgery to see if they could remove the tumor but unfortunately the cancer had spread and they would not have been able to get it all so I was stitched back up.  I was then referred to an Oncologist to start chemo to try and shrink the tumors.   I had my first chemotherapy on April 3.  That is my story up to today.
