Vibes/prayers request...

Hi ladies,
So my best friend from highschool (and bridesmaid) was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma about a year ago. She went through 6 months of seemingly successful chemo - about 3 months ago she was declared "cancer free" or in remission I suppose. I got a hysterical phone call from her last night saying she just got the results from her 3rd PET scan, and that the cancer spread to her chest, throat, and brain. She now has to undergo another year of chemo therapy along with a bone marrow transplant. She's only 24 years old and has been through so much already (severe ski accident in highschool where she shattered her hip and nose) - she doesn't deserve the pain she's going through and is the one of the most wonderful people I know... I'm so scared for her and don't know what to do... So I ask you to please keep her in your thoughts and prayers... It is going to be a long hard road for her... Thanks in advance for your thoughts and prayers...

    And for all the girls on here who didn't see kwynn's post last week, sign up to be a marrow donor! You never know whose life you could save. January = yearly application-fee waived month at Be the Match. It is SUPER easy to sign up.

    Sorry to hear this. I hope she will beat this again.

    Have you heard of BetheMatch.org? It may be a small way to help at this time; you can sign up to be a bone marrow match for someone else who may need it.

    Thoughts and prayers for your friend.

    How horrible.  I'll be praying for your friend and wishing the best for easy treatments and a quick recovery.  

    My friend's dad was recently declared cancer-free and then they found new spots with him too.  It is such a terrible feeling to go from such joy to such sadness.

    Thanks everyone... I've heard good things about knottie vibes/prayers working and Liz needs it more than ever right now. I'm just so scared for her and her family...

    New_to_PGH & kywnn - thanks for the info - I am signing up right now, as well as posting the link as my facebook status... It will make me feel a little less helpless (because honestly I feel completely helpless and I want to help her so badly).

    .KRM - I will keep your friends dad in my thoughts/prayers too - it really is so hard going from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows... thanks for your thoughts...

    I'm so sorry to hear this.  Many vibes and prayers for your friend, and all those close to her.  May she be strong to get through the chemo and get another cancer-free diagnosis when it's done, this one permanently.
