What the Doctors Don’t Tell You: One Woman’s Journey Through Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Kimberly Beam was a middle school Language Arts teacher in Massachusetts and an English teacher in Maryland before being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. This is the story from finding the lump in her collarbone through the ordeals of diagnosis. Beam doesn’t pull punches about diagnosis and treatment. With humor in the darkest of places, this is the story of treatment and recovery. It is the story about how sickness changes everything and how doctors let you discover many things on your own as you walk the lonely journey from death to life.
