####. Close cousin of mine, who is a poster here, got some awful news today. He's been in business school working like a maniac with extra credits trying to finish up this semester, while working full time, because his wife is due with their first child. He's been working and schooling like a maniac. They are set for a C-section in about 30 hours. Amidst all this crap, this afternoon he was diagnosed with lymphoma. He's freaking 27 years old. The bright side is I understand it's early stage (stage 2, non hodgkins), and so the prognosis is positive. He's starting treatment right away, and has the best doctors modern medicine can offer.
Ugh. So if you're the praying type, say one for one of our GBs here. Scary how life can kick you like that, out of nowhere, in what's supposed to be an awesome and exciting time for a healthy young guy. Also, if anyone has gone through this with family before and has any pointers on things we might do for him (we've already offered to watch the baby when they need a break, get groceries, whatever), I'm all ears.
TIA
