Emily

Lymphoma Survivor

My daughter, Emily is my hero! She is 25 years old and was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June 2018. Her initial symptoms started with a cough and her losing weight while we lived in Texas, which we assumed was from her working her new job, which was very physical. We left Texas May 26 and drove from Fort Hood to Massachusetts, almost 2000 miles. None of us knew Emily was so sick.

Logan

Geri

NHL Survivor

In October 2017 Logan began to have trouble with his throat and developed sleep apnea. He went to see an ENT who diagnosed him with an abscess on his tonsil and suggested a tonsillectomy. Logan went in for a routine tonsillectomy in November 2017 and was diagnosed with Burkitts lymphoma, an extremely aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
