This is Jessica she's a friend of ours, she's an awesome kid, so bright and spunky. She's facing her second round of chemo for relapsed rhabdomyosarcoma (sp?), the most aggressive and rare of the childhood cancers. She was diagnosed the first time a couple years ago, she went through chemo and removal of her leg ( the site if the original tumor) and was in remission for about a year. Then they noticed a lump on her back. It's back. It is in her lungs, back and neck. Thankfully, it's not in her bone marrow or brain. They have just started her chemo and she'll be starting radiation soon, she's feeling good still, but her hair has fallen out again. This is an even more aggressive round of chemo that last time from what I understand and she's going to have it really rough. She spent the night last night and let me tell you, this kid is so full of life, so funny and loving, it just kills me to think that she is so sick. Please, please, please, whatever you believe, whatever spiritual path you follow, do your thing for this kid. Put some positive and healing energy out there for her. Thank you!!!
