In August of 2010, Nick was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma stage 4. Nick had been noticing that something was "wrong" for a few months before he was diagnosed. He was having lower back pain for over 6 months. In July he started to have very intense night sweats every night. In August he was noticing a difference in his appearance, he looked thinner and felt weak. Then he felt the lumps in his neck and the doctors decided to do a biopsy. The results came back positive. Nick was in for surgery the next day to remove some of the lymph to determine the cancer and the type. Nick had many tests, procedures and scans the next few weeks. Nick has been very strong and positive throughout this whole process. Nick and Alysha trust in God and know He has a plan.
