[kj] OT: My Turn in Hell

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Alex,


Hope your mom does well once she's out. Do you know if it is Hodgkin's 
or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma? My grandfather had a scare for Hodgkins 
Lymphoma a few years back but thankfully it didn't pan out. Good news is 
that treatment for cancer gets better and better almost by the month 
these days. My stepfather is a cancer survivor and has been clear of it 
for 15 years now. Hopefully you and your mom will be able to beat the 
thing into remission as well.

And hopefully Dr. M will be beaten into SUBmission by some random thug.


Best of luck, and best wishes to your mom of course!

Oliver

The good news is that they're catching it early and don't expect to have to conduct any surgery on her (although there'll be loads of tests and drugs in her future...and not the fun kind).
