Should I bring up Cancer?

Hi Friends, for those of you who don't know me, my name is Christina but everyone calls me Nina and last year I was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I am currently in remission, (almost one year) and this upcoming anniversary has me thinking about all the things I learned over the last year and a half. So I decided to restart this blog and write things down so I wouldn't forget #chemobrain. So excuse me if this blog sometimes sounds like a diary post, or even a rant. I just really feel like I need to write these stories out and share how life has changed, hoping that someone out there will be blessed and encouraged. Today lets talk about... talking about cancer with new friends. I would be the first to admit that I can sometimes be an awkward person...especially in social situations. Cancer intensified that. I didn't know and still quite don't know when is a good time to share about my journey with cancer (kinda the reason for this blog I guess). Las
