Stage 3 Lymphoma?

I received an e-mail today from the music teacher who retired from my school last year. MJ was a phenomenal music teacher. She ran the most beautiful concerts and was able to play our school alma mater at chapel with amazing enthusiasm. I am not musically oriented, but I developed a great amount of respect for MJ and her program. After spending her entire working career at our school, she moved down to Florida, where she happily is settling into retirement. The e-mail talked about how she wanted to come up for graduation, but she cannot due to being recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphoma. So, today, I think and pray for my dear friend, MJ.
