<P>Hi all, I have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer at age 32. It is a hard pill to swollow when you hear this kind of news. I am a nonsmoker that was exposed to second-hand smoke for most of my youth. I have a wonderful wife and&nbsp;my first&nbsp;child is due in 2 weeks. This has been a blessing and has kept me focused on fighting this cancer with everything I have. I know it is hard to be positive and motivated, but, the one thing we have going for us is our youth. Keep smiling and stay strong... If anyone wants to get in touch with me please feel free to e-mail. We can rally each other through these tough times.</P> <P>Cheers.</P>

Tori was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in April 2003. Attending college away from home, she traveled to all of her appointments alone, including a lengthy drive each month to see a specialist. Toni’s health and emotional well-being deteriorated, and she returned home to recover. On her arrival, she cared for her sister, who suffers from MS, and began working at a daycare facility. Tori found within herself a sense of empathy and determination she didn’t realize she possessed before her diagnosis, and she continually strives to instill all she’s gained in others.
