Hope

In 1991, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkins lymphoma in my thymus that had spread to my left lung. After surgery and chemo, Dr. Senecal suggested I have a bone marrow transplant. It was a miracle for me. This month I am celebrating my 28 year Anniversary of being free from lymphoma. Thank you Dr. Senecal! You are the best doctor ever.

Great Christmas

Was the day before Christmas
and all through the house
I’m the only one stirring
that great big pot
The stocking are stuffed
and so am I
with Christmas candy
and a big pizza pie.
With the second Christmas here
and no cancer in sight
That’s the best Christmas gift
that God had in his sight.
All the family is here
