You continue to be my Hero Celeste dear. Coming home from your platelet transfusion and a rough day you were more concerned about your dear Grandma than yourself! All you are going through could be an opportunity to totally focus inward but you DON'T, it isn't your nature. You continue to lift all of us with your sweet and radiating Spirit. Keep smiling sweetheart, you are beautiful!

Celeste was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at the end of June. It was discovered when she went to the doctors due to a high fever and constant nausea (which they originally thought was caused by her gallbladder). After waiting a long two and a half weeks for the results of the biopsy the doctors were able to determine exactly what type of cancer and what stage it was at.

Results from biopsy: Stage 3, Atypical lymphohistiocytic proliferation, consistent with a B-cell lymphoma with plasmacytic differntation, not further classifiable.
