My daughter had stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer and more recently relapsed with T-Cell Leukemia. Her brother helped donate his bone marrow to help her as she fought for her life a second time. She had frontline chemotherapy the first time she was diagnosed as well as several rounds of high-dose chemo to fight the 90% cancer blasts in her bone marrow and it had spread to her spinal fluid. She had total body irradiation as well as cranial radiation and a bone marrow transplant.
It has changed our life as we lived in the hospital for almost a year. We never take a day for granted that she is alive. She is a fighter! Many of her friends of similar age and similar diagnoses of cancer have passed away and we are so sad about that but thanks for each new day.
