Jessica's Journey with Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Jessica was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in August of 2005. Although at a Stage I, this stubborn disease has survived through ABVD, many rounds of radiation and chemotherapy, as well a tandem stem-cell transplant. A donor bone-marrow transplant is the next planned defense. This is a daughter/mother (patient/caregiver) account of life past and present, of life leading to the moment when Jessica will finally be declared a true survivor!
