Oh gosh, it would be wonderful if she was CURED!!! We can only hope and pray! But I've seen miracles happen ~ my son is a miracle for that matter. He had leukemia as a child - when he was 7 yrs old. That was in 1977 when they didn't know anything about leukemia. He was in an experimental program, because that's basically all they had back then. He took chemo for 3 years, and also had radiation. After 3 years, they took him off his drugs - I was terrified.
I should mention that when he first started taking chemo, they told us he was going to die - that he was "too old" for this kind of cancer - that they liked to see kids from 2-5 because they have the best luck with them. Since my son was 7 yrs old, he would probably die. Well,he's 40 yrs old now ~ so he's a miracle. ![]()
