My dear friend came down with Hodgkin’s disease when she was 15, and she had been working excessive hours (illegal hours) in a Chinese restaurant for a year or two where she was cleaning deep fryers.

Every body is different, but kids are more vulnerable to chemicals than adults, and kid cancers grow faster.

I had the feeling when I was a teenager that this disease was connected to her long hours working in the kitchen of that restaurant.

She had to have chemo and radiation, and although she survived, she died of breast cancer by age 30.

She was a very smart person with a kind heart and an old soul.
