Sounds like lymphoma? My dad lived on that floor of the U of M hospital for a couple years when i was in high school. Lymphoma is generally pretty treatable...even curable. Those people looked like they were always in better shape than the leukemia people lol.

I sent Pat a friend request on facebook. You're in my prayers. We'll all be thinking of you. Kick cancer's ass!

Let me know if you end up in Ann Arbor. I can help her find some fun stuff to do off-campus. Those are my stomping grounds.
