Just found out that my oldest son (35 years old) has Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a type of immune system cancer. He was fine 2 weeks ago and is now in the ICU. They're still doing tests, don't really know much. My wife left this morning to join him and I will soon. Old as I am it wouldn't be that big a deal for me but it's a real shame for someone that young. His wife and 4 kids are pretty freaked out- so am I.

Rush Limbaugh has been raising money fer Hodgkin's lymphoma fer many years... just yesterday he had his yearly telethon...from listening to him, they have made some really good advancements in survivabilitya since he started over20 years ago. You'll probably want to know every thing you can about it and education is part of what that group he works with does... I can't remember tha name of the group but I bet you could go to Rush Limbaugh web site to find out. Ill be saying a prayer for him and your family, but take heart, I remember rush sayin yesterday thata 10 yr survivability has increased to somethin like 70%.

So sorry. It's hard to watch anyone go through these kinds of things. Even worse when it's your own kid.

Home alone with a worried mind, so it's the atrium and the still, running some rum. Thanks for the concern and kind words. That means a lot.
