My mother died unexpectedly of AML when on march 31st 2011. She didn't know she was sick.. she was 46. It being hereditary is a constant thought in my mind. I even hit myself frequently just to see if it will bruise. My hope is that my children don't have to go through what I went through loosing her. That's why this charity is so important to me.

im a recent Hodgkin lymphoma survivor, my case was exactly like the boy in the black shirt, in the middle of getting my Associates degree, going to class, etc. just moved to Orlando, and a few weeks later bam! the cause of all your pain and swelling is because of H.L. I was thinking what is this surgeon talking about, smh he is crazy lol, then he said what it was, cancer of the lymphatic system i immediately started to cry. highest stage, caught it b4 it went in my bones.

@artsymae The boy in the black shirt is me :)

It's good they caught it before it spread. It's amazing how many people come forward and were affected with cancer around you when your diagnosed. I hope things workout ok for you!

My 63 year old father Peter Lewin Sadly passed away on 25th November after suffering from CLL for over 8 years. My father was a brave, brave man who fought like a lion until the very end. Dad I miss you and I love you very much. X

the weirdest thing, my best friend of 10 plus years, had leukemia 8 years ago when we were in high school, and then this year i got lymphoma. what are the odds of 2 best friends both getting a blood cancer. totally weird.
