HELP-friend in need

I, personally, have not, nor do I have cancer. My best friend in California was diagnosed last week with stage 4 lymphoma. I'm not sure if it's Hodgkins or non. He has 5 tumors, one on his kidney, one on his liver, 3 in the pelvic region. He is currently at UC Davis hospital undergoing aggressive chemotherapy. I imagine it is easier for people who have had cancer to understand what he is going through. He has hundreds of supporters behind him right now, but I was hoping to gain some support from the cancer community in the form of positive thoughts, prayers, and if anyone is willing, your personal stories of conquest over cancer and how you kept the fight going. What motivated you? What inspired hope? How did you keep the fight when you felt like giving in? Please, if anyone is willing to share their story, so I can share the with him, we would both be very appreciative. His name is Johnathan Davis. Thank you to anyone willing! Danny |

Hi Danny,
Sorry to hear about your friend Johnathan. This site is full
of success stories and wonderful supportive folks.
Lymphoma is very treatable and curable in some cases so there's
lots of hope.
I celebrated one year in remission about a month ago!
If you click on my picture or name, you can read the "about me"

up to it.
Hugs and positive thoughts,
Jim
