18. Sending hugs and strength.

My husband was diagnosed with lymphoma 2.5 years ago. He had to have lots of fluid removed 2x per week from around his lungs for months. He is now in remission. (He is still receiving rituximab shots and white blood cell boosters shots.)
Good to hear she has a good medical team. Take care of yourself. ❤️ Sending you and your wife love and positive energy.
Cancer sucks.
