      My son Ben was feeling realy sick recently…really swollen lymph nodes on his neck. He was just about to travel to Baltimore to visit friends and then to Finland for 6 weeks (he met a girl…). His doctor did a needle biopsy on his neck becuase he was not sure what was gong on. He ended up in the ER in Baltimore where they did a test for Mono.

      Ends up he has Mono…goes to Finland anyway (new love) and is starting to feel better. I was so happy to hear thats what it was, as opposed to the cancer rearing its ugly head. It is weird how our perspective changes.I hate melanoma.

      I read the posts daily and keep everyone in my thoughts. I am still heart broken about Kevin. Keep fighting the fight!!
