Update On My Brother
Just wanted to keep you all informed on the progress with my brother. As you know, over a month ago, my brother was diagnosed with Hodgkins. Hes has been goin through test after test and now we have some more information. He sent me a text last night that reads as follows: PET scan result….confined to neck and upper chest (greta early detection)….Bone marrow biopsy on Monday….Chemo (4-6 months) starts in November.
Talk about some real answers and relief. Although we have a long way to go, we know that he will kick its ass….Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers, my family as well as myself are exteremely grateful. Will keep you all posted as more becomes available….

I’m relieved - in a way- to hear that the lymphoma is confined to the areas you’ve described and is in early stages.
Hope is one of the most powerful things we have when it comes to healing. Your brother’s recovery is what all the people reading your blog are hoping for.

I’m so happy to hear he’s gotten hopeful news! He’s already got the right attitude. He’ll get through this strongly.
