Chuck, my sister is suffering with lymphoma. We have a long way to go,
but we also have to look how far we've come with cancer treatment and
care. Many people have beat the odds. I know it's easy for me to say
keep a positive attitude because I'm not the one facing what you are.
I am hopeful and looking for recovery for my sister, and I'm hopeful
for a recovery for you also.
