my 9-year old niece madeline was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia this week. she is a trooper and is taking the news with grace. the rest of us have much to learn from her! ALL is the most common form of childhood cancer and the treatment success rate is high. she started chemotherapy on wednesday and will continue on some sort of regiment or another for the next three years. she is back at home now with her two younger brothers...who i know will help to keep her spirits up while she's travelling down this uncertain and scary path.
i'll try to keep up with news on madeline here, but sarah has also set up a CaringBridge site at
