Cancer Hits Home Again

 

This morning I received a call from one of my good friends Steve.  I could tell that something was wrong and I hung on every word as he talked.  After going through some normal conversation he spilled the bad news.  His Father In-Law has been diagnosed with Myeloma.  The good news is that he will be starting treatment next week and the doctors are giving him a positive outlook.  After hanging up the phone I was in a combination of sadness and shock.  Another person close to me has cancer?  Not again!  I simply pray that the outcome this time is much better than the last person we lost.  This new development has fueled my dedication to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society even more.  I want to thank everyone at the society, volunteers, and everyone that has supported the society.  All of your hard work has provided the support and the financial means to develop treatments for cancer like Steve’s Father-In Law will be undergoing.  Lets all continue to fight towards our goal of finding a cure!
