Hello everyone, My name is Michael and I have been there, did that, and got the t-shirt. It is a cloudy time but please hang in there. Since my time I now have three girls that pamper their father to much. Together we will get through your tough days. In a nut shell I had non- Hodgkins Lymphoma, I was twenty seven, my first child was on the way, she died of SIDS as I was going through chemo. That was not a good year at all. I will answer every question you may have so please stop wondering and let the questions fly or just get it off your mind/chest! I am now a father of three girls in their twenties and am a RN now. Please feel free to ask/say anything, I won’t be hurt. You are now in a group of help and the best is to let it out as you feel! Mike

Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal story and offering support to others facing similar challenges. Coping with cancer while dealing with profound loss requires incredible strength, and it's meaningful to see how life can evolve in unexpected ways despite the darkest moments. Your willingness to answer questions and provide a safe space for others to share their experiences creates valuable connection for community members who may feel isolated during their own difficult times.
