Dear MsMai,

I am truly heart felt in my sympathy towards your daughter MsMai.

I too had lymphatic cancer when I was 20yrs old ~ Hodgkins Lymphoma, I was in stage 3-b when diagnosed and as terminal as it was at the time (1984), I just passed my 23 year remission on Oct. 18. It is hard to deal with such heavy news. I feel so much for you.

They did remove a lymph node on me too, I still have a faded scar on the left side of my neck, funny: people think it's a hickey and I even lost a job over it, I just assume they thought it was a hickey too~ to me, that scar is a badge of honor because I am a survivor and I survived.

I would highly suggest your daughter eat lots and lots and mega lots of protein~ cancer does not like protein, (it's something to help) but junk food or sugary snacks will help it, so please have her eat lots of protein.

I am available to talk if you want, or give more support being a survivor it may help. Everyone here is available to you, from what I have read they really really care for you.

I am DEFINITELY GOING TO PRAY FOR YOUR DAUGHTER.

How sweet of you to share Dianncy! It's wonderful you are an inspiration to all, thank you for sharing!

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter, my prayers will be with you. God Bless You and your daughter. Take Care, Cookie
