I cant sleep. Ive been following another blog for a while now. It is a sad story of a mother and daughter with Melanoma that hits a tad too close to home for me. The cliff notes version? Mom finds out shortly after having a baby that her melanoma is back in a bad way, she ultimately looses her battle. The baby they then find has the same melanoma. Baby wasnt given long, but fights hard and survives past her 2nd birthday. Unfortunately, one of her brain tumors burst this week, and she just past away.
My heart breaks for this family. In 2 years they lost 2 precious lives to this terrible cancer. I can only weep for them. I tend to have a positive outlook even with my own terrible melanoma diagnosis, but this juts sucks. This child was doing so much better. All her treatments had been working, and her brain tumors gone except 1. They had hope. It was all gone in an instant.
I really do recommend her families blog. They have done a lot to raise awareness for melanoma, along with money for cancer, and the Phoenix childrens hospital. www.addisonsarmy.org
My prayers are with her family. I know how rough this road has been, and how supportive they have been. They still are doing some amazing work even in this sad time.
