Last Thanksgiving Kaitlin Bachmeyer, a senior at the
University of Mississippi, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. After
receiving the diagnosis Kaitlin decided to remain a full time student in order to graduate this May.
Kaitlin originally planned on seven chemotherapy treatments
until she was hospitalized last week for Sepsis, a severe blood
infection that can lead to organ failure. Now, Kaitlin is responsible for three
more chemotherapy treatments.
Since the diagnosis, Kaitlin’s parents leased a house in town for
the spring semester to assist their daughter in her recovery. Each week,
Kaitlin’s parents decide who is going to drive from Huntsville, Ala. to
help Kaitlin.
Kaitlin’s optimism and positive attitude have allowed her to
persevere through seven chemotherapy treatments. With only three more left,
Kaitlin is adamant about overcoming cancer.
