My husband, James Casey’s, journey through chemotherapy & radiation treatment for Stage 2B Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

It’s been four long months since we found ourselves in the hospital with my husband, James, because of a 9cm mass in his lungs (& the pesky cough that sent us to the Care Now in the first place). To make a very long story short, after a needle biopsy, two broncoscopy […]
