I had to go for a stem cell bone marrow transplant... I am 5 years out and doing great... Hodgekins is the most treatable cancer... You will do fine, make sure you pray! I believe in prayer, it works!! God Bless You! You will be in my prayers.

I am a cancer suufferer too because my Dad has prostate cancer. That makes my mum, brother and sisters suffers too. But we all stand by Dad. I took my Dad up L'Alpe d'Heuz in 2003 to watch Lance and the Tour in case he never realised his dream. I will be taking him next year too. I work for a great medical supplies company called Boston Scientific out in Australia. We care. I care to make a difference each day.I witness individuals being diagnosed daily with CA. It is a family illness, shared by the ones that love you the most. Believe me, you are loved. There is a big family out there who care. Lance rocks. Drew rocks, My Dad rocks!
