Reason to Relay

Kolan Durrance remembers when it happened: in May of last year. He knows how it happened: he noticed a swollen lymph node under his arm; a week or so later he could hardly breathe because fluid from a tumor had filled his right lung. He knows when he started treatment and he knows about when he'll be done.

The one thing he doesn't know is why.

“My dad has an autoimmune disorder, and I've heard the trait from that can end up in some people getting non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but I didn't even know,” he says.

“It just came out of nowhere.”

Durrance was a year out of Chiefland High School when he was diagnosed. He had recently been laid off from work when he got sick, and now he's on disability. Life in the middle of treatments – he started at the end of last May and expects to be done around the end of next May – is just one big wash of uncertainty, except for the treatment itself.

“I used to have to go to the cancer clinic three or four times a week, but now I'm in my maintenance period,” he says.
