Very scary, I'm sure she's young too. My dentist had it, it was brought out after her 2nd pregnancy and she is perfecty fine (that was 17 years ago), she hasn't had a problem since and it is very healthy. Non hodgekins is the dangerous one.

awww sending my prayers

i'm so sorry! my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family

thanks everyone
the survival rate is really high which is good
it is just so scary

Oh Laura, I'm so sorry. So much heartache lately.

That's always the way right? Always the good people. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

This is so sad. It is so hard when people are young to fight a battle of any sickness.
Your friend is in my thoughts and prayers.
