Kathy’s Story

Site created on July 8, 2020

In January of 2020 Kathy became very sick  She was diagnosed with Strep, Bronchitis and Pneumonia and was referred to an ENT.  It was at this time she noticed some swollen glands in her neck and the doctors did a biopsy which came back clear.  Then the COVID 19 lock down happened and she was instructed to just keep an eye on it.  Well we did and they got bigger so in late may Kathy had another biopsy and this one sadly came back with a diagnosis of Lymphoma.  Her ENT referred her to Rush Medical Center in Chicago where she got connected with an amazing team of Doctors and Nurses who are taking amazing care of her.

Newest Update

Journal entry by Kathy Davison

Hi all, wanted to share my latest update.  I had my final PETscan, along with CT scans, yesterday, and I am very happy to let you know that the results of my CT scans and PETscan show no signs of lymphoma.  My cancer is officially 100% in remission, and my oncologist believes that my chances of a relapse are low as my Lymphoma was very localized.  I am very excited!  I am still working on getting back to full strength, but I know I will eventually get there.  For the next year I will have follow up appointments and CT scans every 3 months.  In the 2nd year I will have follow up appointments every 6 months.  In years 3 to 5, my follow up appointments will be once a year.

Once again, I want to thank everyone for all the support and prayers that have been sent our way since the beginning.  Thank you so much!
