My life has taught me that you can't control
what life dishes out.
You can only choose how you deal with it
and who stands up with you.

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!
