Melissa and Celebrities

So, it has officially been a week since my first chemo treatment and since there is nothing new to share, I am going to write about my recent findings this week of celebrities who have or had Hodgkins Lymphoma. Before I do this, just a quick update. I am doing fine, am blessed to have no side effects so far. We will see how next week goes:)

Now on to the good stuff. So I was surfing the internet yesterday and came across the following story: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20279566,00.html

If you know me well, you know that I am a huge fan of Survivor. According to this story, one of the past winners of Survivor: Africa, has been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma as well. In reading the article I realized that he started treatment the same week as I did, so I thought it was a funny coincidence to share with y'all.

Then, last night I was at the pre-conference briefing and one of my pastor friends walked up to me and said, hey did you see that Ethan from Survivor has the same thing you do. And I was like, yeah I read that today. And then he was like, well when I first heard about your diagnosis I immediately remembered that Matthew Fox, from Party of Five and now Lost, had Hodgkins Lymphoma while he was on Party of Five and look at him now. 

This of course prompted a conversation of whether or not this pastor had decided to google celebrities with Hodgkins Lymphoma. He denies it, but I am not sure. I thought this was something fun and interesting to share with everyone. Hope you enjoy it!!!

And I promise we are working on the head wrap voting survey:)
