My mom asks about yours whenever we talk. There's a bond there even though they've never met, all because of cancer. :(

4. Took my mom when I was a teenager, now I'm undergoing tests next week
and praying its not cancer. My heart goes out to any of you that have/are dealing with it, and my admiration too for your strength and bravery.

16. My ex had non-hodgkins
He has been in remission for 10 years now. He figured out the time frame of his chemo and feeling like crap and arranged his life around it. This guy painted the living room with a buffalo tube in his arm!

I hope your mother is dealing with the chemo okay...I know it's difficult.
I hope you're hanging in there, too.:hug:

Keeping you and your family in my thoughts...

28. I think it's as hard to watch someone got through it as it is to do it yourself.
Ok, maybe not. But it was tough to look at my mother losing all her hair and all that and not feel helpless. When I got cancer her experience certainly put my own cancer into perspective, and made me realize how lucky I've been to avoid the chemo.

Best wishes to you all RL.
