My Niece is sick

I hesitated on posting this because it is more of my Neice's business, but s short time ago she was diagnosed with cancer. It is in her chest, neck and lymph nodes. It's very sad especially since she is set to graduate high school this year.

The good news is that it is not in her bone marrow and that they finally diagnosed it as being Hodgkin's (which is 99% curable they say).

At first the gave her a 50/50 chance but now they are very confident about her recovery. They say she may even be able to attend college in the fall.

Still though, it's very sad and a child should never have to go through anything like that.

So, please send her good vibes.

Hiya Sugah! She should be fine! Theysay hers is about 90% because she is stage 3. It is also in her spleen which I didn't know until the other day but her dr's are confident! I'll call you when I have an update!

The spleen doesn;t sound too good. But then, it's not a vital oprgan. It's good to hear that the doctor's are confident.
