I just found the most amazing thing. There's this film by Nanni Moretti called Caro Diaro. In the third act of the film called "Medici," his struggles with pre-diagnosis Hodgkin's Lymphoma nearly mirror my own. It's uncanny!
Like Moretti, I eventually got fed up with itching on a daily basis and sought help from various doctors. One doctor prescribed skin cream, another prescribed a pill, another thought it was stress (i.e., all in my head), another recommended a special kind of shampoo, and another thought it was environment (e.g., hard water).
You can find the third part on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMV22-yIFCo.
The funny thing about the movie is that it made me feel immeasurably better. I think that, despite what I may think, my main objective isn't to scour the internet looking for new information about Hodgkin's. Instead, I think what I'm really looking for is someone or something to identify with, and identifying with Moretti for a bit was exactly what I needed.
Maybe it's like story about the boy who cried wolf, except that the first time this boy cried wolf, there actually was a wolf. The villagers know all about that crazy boy (now an old man) who once cried wolf a while back, but the town trusted this particular boy so they ran up the mountain anyways. To their surprise, they see the massive dire wolf and somehow manage to capture it before it devours all their sheep. It was the first time the village saw a about 50 years, and this time, their sheep remained intact! So a big celebration occurs in the boy's honor!
After a few more years pass, the boy cries "wolf!" a second time and no one responds. They ignore him because statistically speaking, it's very unlikely that there are two dire wolves running around these woods. After all, they are very rare creatures! So no one shows up, and the boy sits there pretty certain he hears the same wolf sniffing around in the sheep pen.
Regardless of whether the boy was correct the second time, he feels more and more different and isolated from the town folk. So instead of attempting to re-connect with the town, he goes off into the woods to find the original "old man who cried wolf" and hear his story and maybe make a friend. Maybe there was more to that story than the village had let on...
But I digress...
I just had my scan today. I went ahead and took the day off of work because you're not supposed to be around people when you're radioactive. So that was a plus, it gives me more time to not do my school work, which was due yesterday.
In a few days, I'll find out whether there's actually is a wolf running around. It's kind of hard to study when a wolf may or may not be right behind you, but you're somehow prevented from turning around. Hard to do anything really, except perhaps to write about the wolf a bit :)
