"In June I found a lump in my throat. I have Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I'm just 32 years old with a husband and a two year old son. At first I was really scared. However, the staff at CancerCare of Maine really listened to me. They helped me find answers to questions, reassured me, and made my family feel welcome and a part of my treatment. If a person has to go through something like this, CancerCare is the best place to be." - Jennifer Fleming, Calais, physical therapist, with her mother Brenda Robb
