“A cancer diagnosis is scary. When my fiancé had cancer, he was told it was either Lymphoma or another one. We were praying lymphoma because the prognosis is so good. I know it’s impossible to think of a cancer diagnosis as lucky, but this is very beatable. My very best wishes,” someone shares.

Another adds, “Lymphoma survivor here. You’ve got this, Jeff. But we’re all pulling and praying for you anyway.” A last fan says, “Wishing you the best, Jeff. My Mom has it. She’s had it now three times over 15 years. It comes back. However, she does her short course of chemo, and then maintenance. Stand tall, stand strong. You will get through this. Praying and pulling for you, Dude.”
