Sarah, I have only just read this thread and I want to say thank you so much for sharing. I agree that much more should be done to combat childhood cancers. I work next door to Boston Children's Hospital and often see the children (and their parents) who are there to receive treatments. It's heartbreaking but at the same time I am always impressed by how upbeat and hopeful they are.

Traci, thank you for sharing as well. I am thinking of you and Iris and wishing for the best possible outcome for her. (((Hugs)))

Sarah, thank you for sharing this. Please know that you and your family are always in my prayers. A good friend of my husband's lost their daughter to cancer 2 years ago. They are very involved with the Jay Fund in Jacksonville, FL, which is another wonderful organization.

Traci, my heart and prayers go out to your and your family too. Wishing you all the strength and courage to get through this difficult time.
