WELCOME to my TEAM IN TRAINING fundraising page!!
My name is Jocelyn Herod, and I am celebrating my 5th year in remission (YAY!!) from cancer by participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's TEAM in TRAINING 100 mile bike ride on June 3rd, 2012!!
In May of 2006, I was diagnosed with Stage 4B Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I was 27 years old. The cancer was so bad that I had to start treatment immediately. Initially, the standard chemotherapy protocol worked, and my scans revealed that all of the tumors were shrinking. However, after my 7th chemo treatment, the cancer started to grow back. My oncologist referred my to a bone marrow transplant specialist at City of Hope cancer hospital. My new doctor told me that my only option for survival was to enroll in a clinical trial that involved tandem stem-cell transplants, performed within 60 days of each other. She also told me that I had 5 out of 7 risk-factors that made my chance of achieving remission 50%.
I had my first transplant in November 2006, and my second in January 2007. I married my husband on September 16th, 2006 in a small (and very bald) wedding in my stepfather’s back yard. Uncertain of what the future held for me, I wanted to marry the man who had stood by my side through the toughest time of my life. On January 4th, 2012, my husband, Christian and I, along with our two-year-old twins, Jonah & Elliott, celebrated my 5th year in remission!!
I am commemorating this amazing anniversary by participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s, Team in Training, Century bike ride event in Lake Tahoe on June 3rd, 2012. PLEASE, help me support this lifesaving organization by making a pledge TODAY and help me reach my fundraising goal!
Thank you. Be well!!
