Lance sweetie.. That just absolutely breaks my heart. I know how much it hurts to lose a child, I have been thru it. Please let your family and everyone know that prayers are being said for little Madison... and for all her family including you. There are just no words big enough to express my grief for you all.........
She's still here, but in terrible shape.
They have her on so many drugs she's nearly in a drug induced coma. Only a few things cheer her up and for the most part she has a look on her face like she's tired of waiting to go.
My uncle (her dad) broke down the other day to my grandmother and cried into her shoulder about how he can't do this anymore, it's taken a toll on the entire family. Even today at work I was thinking about Madison so much I kept forgetting to do things, or doing things the wrong way and I got fed up with it and tried to find someone to cover for me so I could go home.
I'd say it's any day now she'll pass on.
My Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer with liver metastasis in February. He had never been sick before, can you believe it. In a group of nine women friends, four of us have fathers with cancer, one friend herself has ovarian cancer. We are faced with a terrible disease that is striking more and more people everyday, and I hope a cure for this will come sooner rather than later, especially for the children.
There was a woman who beat her cancer and started a crusade on the radio and the web and every way she could think to do. She cured her cancer without the medical treatments. If anyone is interested her site is

Another is www.hacres.com This guy had inoperable Colon cancer and cured himself the same way...
Thanks, debbiejo. We're doing our best to provide my dad with the best health care we can afford. My aunt's flying to the US in a few months for surgery, she's already had one there last year. I think in a way it's good my dad doesn't need another one (he was operated on in Feb). We're hoping to beat the cancer with therapy, medicine and our faith, and we're open to alternative means too.
Sorry. Was that question for me, DenKi? If it is, then the unfortunate answer is no, we couldn't tell until it was big enough to cause worry. We've never had a family member have cancer before, so we never really went through any serious medical examination. The next generation is luckier, I guess, as we can udnergo blood tests by next year to make sure other members do not have it.
Thanks for letting me talk about it. It sort of helps talking like this (in a way, anonymously) because it doesn't get way too personal and yet feel your concern. I send all cancer families and those who are involved in cancer support and research my love and moral support as well. Live strong.
