Can we have a gang of hugs for username alesha11
She's going through a lot these days. She really needs the support. Hodgekin's Lymphoma has got to be hard... I can't even imagine what kind of pain this young woman goes through. Any cancer has to be hard. Please keep my friend Alesha in your prayers and send hugs her way! She just made it to her 17th birthday today! Praise God! The doctors only gave her 3 months to live, she has already lived more than a month longer! She is such a fighter!
