Linda's Story from Michigan

This is a very short story about a wonderful lady I went to school with back in the day. Here is her webpage with some of her information: http://www.myspace.com/bluyz1966. She is in her forties and a breast cancer survivor.

While she was fighting breast cancer, her son was fighting Leukemia, a survivor at only 18 months old. She has been the glue for our 1984 graduating class. She has also been the most supportive lady, always sharing a kind word, encouragement or praise. She recently helped raise money for a classmate's family who passed away. She is graceful and kind, with a big heart for all, especially others who are cancer survivors.

A Note from Linda:

GOOD NEWS! Well, I sure wish I had known this for the past two weeks, my goodness I have been through some emotions lately. The Univ. of MI doctors say that my Mom does not have leukemia afterall. She still has the Myelodysplastic Syndrome which can sometimes turn into leukemia and can "mimic" leukemia (*My son Ryan had that and his turned into Leukemia)- Anyway, we are consulting with U of M on alternate chemotherapy treatments to help her with the MDS. Many people have lived with that disease for years. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Linda
