    hodgkin's lymphoma

    Just learned that dh's boss's brother has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and it's really too late for them to do anything. It's grown fast and spread.

    Oddly, enough, my friend's husband was just hospitlized with similar symptoms, but they think (& are hoping) it might be Hodgkin's and not non-Hodgkin's. They'll find out today. He's still in ICU.

    If you can, please pray for both of these people. Boss's brother just rekindled a divorce-destroyed relationship with his two older sons, but hasn't been able to connect with his youngest (brainwashed by ex-wife). Friend's husband has two young boys (under 8).
