First time #climbing last night since starting chemotherapy! The pump is real!

First day of chemo done. Wrote a blog post a few days ago about being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and some of the adventures I went on this summer https://jottenlips.github.io/blog/cancer/finding-out-8-30-2025/

Found out I had cancer (hodgkin’s) a week ago. Had to have some light neck surgery for the biopsy, but I am finally cleared to go #climbing again and had so much fun at the gym even if I was on V0s mostly. This entire week has not felt real: the calm before the storm. Anyway, I have a scan tomorrow and I am hoping it is only one mass we are dealing with. I am ready to feel a whole lot worse, and then hopefully a whole lot better.

“Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.”

Some summer #climbing at the obed last month. Fell on most of the bolts, but I worked my way up to the chains. Hoping to come back in the fall now that I have the crux figured out.
