I just found out some awful news. A member of my wonderful online cancer community and someone I now consider a friend, Liz Anderluh, found out today that her daughter Shea, who was diagnosed with the same lymphoma as I and completed her treatment the end of January, has relapsed. She was originally diagnosed at stage 2A and is now at stage 4B, with lung metastasis. After a good cry, I called my mom to let her know.
Shea is fifteen years old, and this is so unfair. I would take cancer twenty times over again or twenty times worse if it meant that Shea would not have to go through this, ever again.
Please visit her CaringBridge site to show your support for the family during this difficult time...it would mean a lot to me.
I began this blog when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in December 2008, and it has now morphed into the life and musings of a post-apocalyptic cancer survivor.
