Cancer-Free


My little sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma when she was 24. She received Chemo and Radiation treatment, but the cancer returned. Then last year she received a Bone Marrow Transplant. It has been a long, hard recovery for her. A couple months ago she went in to the doctor for a routine check-up and the doctors found a spot on her scan that said could be the cancer back again. She had her appointment today and I am glad to report she is cancer-free. I can not express the relief and gratitude I have in my heart right now. She is my only sister I love her so much and it has been so hard to watch her suffer. I know many prayers have been answered.
