Hodgkin's lymphoma. Had surgery/chemo/radiation. I caught pneumocystis during chemo and almost bought the farm. I was in my early 30's and active duty Air Force at the time. I stayed active duty and kept working throughout the treatment. I was able to stay in the service and took a full retirement in 1998.
