50 yrs. ago my soon to be wife was diagnosed with hodgkins. radiation, chemo and removed spleen an various lymph nodes on her aorta. the most curable cancer at that time. life altering experience. it teaches you that life is short, life is precious and God is good. no matter the spill on the carpet or the scratch on the car. everyone should learn the value of real relationships and real love learned from this. but i wouldn't wish it on anybody .we have truly been blessed through the adversity. may you all continue to enjoy the blessing and gift of life
