  • I'm a recent lymphoma survivor, I just finished my treatment last month, the week before Christmas. I can relate to her story, I know how what it was to go through that process.

  • Very touching story. Thanks for sharing.

  • That is an awesome story. What a great attitude she has!

  • I am in tears.. My daughter is 1 1/2 years out of treatment and still clear of Hodgkins. She was 13 when diagnosed. Bravo to you!

  • @IconicFiber I was treated for hodkins in 1989. upper body radiation. 2002 "B" CELL LYMPHOMA C.H.O.P. CHEMO WITH RITUXIN, CLL 2004. CHEMO. NOT SO BAD. ALL THAT SAID. I AM BLESSED. I HAVE HAD MANY INTESTINAL SURGERY'S AND DEVELOPED INTESTINAL BLOCKAGES, ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS I HAVE TO GO TO HOSPITAL. DR'S WILL NOT DO SURGERY ANY LONGER BECAUSE OF THE 1989 RADIATION. NOT GIVING UP THOUGH, 3 SURGEONS 2 ONCOLOGIST SAY I MIGHT BE HELPED WITH HYPERBERIC CHAMBER. AT THIS TIME I STILL WORK. NEVER GIVE UP
