Kid knowing you suffered through lymphoma, I take my hat off to you knowing the disease first hand as you did. Beating the fear is thoroughest part, knowing every drug they give you has side effects that always point towards death The amount of strength you used to beat your disease is incredible, and I hope you can whisper in my ear your secret, You will be missed by those you worked with and by those you work against all in a positive way.
