Non-Hodgkins

This is a post that is very hard for me. I should have written about it already so that I could stop worrying about it but I have come to the realization that that just isn't going to happen. So here goes.
Two weeks ago my brother-in-law Jesse was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (spelling). Since then he has been back and forth to the doctors for different procedures and it has been extremely difficult for him and my sister to absorb. It really came as a shock to the whole family. Yesterday he got some really good news. It is stage one and is only in that one spot. Considering the circumstances we couldn't have asked for better news. He also went through his first round of chemo. He will have a round every 3 weeks for a total of 6 rounds.
Hopefully next August we will be celebrating his one year cancer free.
