Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a rare form of lymphatic cancer that attacks one's lymphnodes. Each one of us has about 600 lymphnodes in our body (I only have 599). They are an important part of our immune system. In 2007, only 8,190 people will be diagnosed in the United States. 3,720 of them will be women. Fortunately, Hodgkin's Disease is extremely treatable with about a 95% success rate.

Journalist Leroy Sievers working on his blog "My Cancer"
Leroy Sievers, who covered wars, genocides and natural disasters in more than a dozen countries — and who chronicled life after his cancer diagnosis for NPR on-air and online — died August 15, 2008. He was 53. During my personal struggle with cancer, his blog was a great inspiration.
