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!

"When you are joyous, look deep into tour heart and you shall find it is only that which has givin you sorrow that is giving you joy.""WHEN you are sorrowful look again in your heart,and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."Some of you say,"joy is greater then sorrow",and others say "Nay,sorrow is the greater."But i say unto you, they are inseparabal. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed." POEM BY KHALIL GIBRAN
