(I'm always a little cautious about using the names of real people when talking about personal matters - especially health. This is a real story, but I'm leaving out the names. Sorry if that makes it hard to follow, but I think you'll understand).
About two months ago or so, a friend of mine came to see me. She told me that a good friend of hers had just been diagnosed with lymphoma. She knew that I had done some fundraising for LLS and wanted to see what I knew about the disease. I told her what I knew - which was just a little - and we talked a bit.
As the days and weeks went by, she and I kept in touch about how her friend was doing. She told me about the plans for chemo; how he was feeling; what was going on; stuff like that.
Well, yesterday she shared some really great news. Her friend was officially declared in remission! How awesome is that?!
Cancer is such a horrible disease. It's so wonderful when you can share some good news!
