Wishing her and her family all the best
I can’t begin to imagine what her parents are going through, but I hope they can remain strong

This is why I gladly donate to St. Jude. No kid should have to go thru cancer.
Same here, it’s the only organization that I donate too. As Legend said above, the services they provide are 2nd to none. I have a family member that’s recently rang the bell from Leukemia treatment. Donate, it’s worth it.

Save your can tabs and find a place to donate. I heard a gallon bag full will provide 5 treatments.

I’m bringing a team of 85 to Memphis this weekend for Marathon weekend. We have raised almost $150,000 for St Jude this year. I was fortunate enough a few weeks ago to run the Boston Marathon through St Jude having raised an additional $10,000 for that. My group works hard for families like yours. God Bless!

Please don't take this the wrong way but I can't read this thread. No advice. Just prayers and good vibes, man.

My daughter and I are leaving Thursday for Memphis for the St Jude Marathon Weekend.
LOVE that place and so glad that it’s there for those who need.
God bless your daughters friend .. and all of you who’ve had your family go through this.

Just when I am at the point where I am starting to hate all you frickers for trashing my beloved Auburn Tigers, I see a thread like this and start loving you all again. There are so many truly good people here. Willie, prayers for you friends family. Ted and others who have shared your loss, I am so sorry, no matter how long ago. Cancer is terrible. My prayers for peace for you all.

Spent a few yrs up at St Jude when my sister was diagnosed at 2yrs old. Now that I have children of my own I can only imagine what my parents went thru. Hard to put into words how upbeat and depressing it was all at the same time. I had made several friends while there with other kids / siblings and one week you would go up and they would be gone some because they where well enough to go home, others were not so lucky to be leaving St Jude. My sister is alive and well today because of St Jude. Hoping everything works out for your daughters friend. Her family will need all forms of support to get thru something like this, God Bless.

Man I cannot even imagine. Don't bear this alone, carry his torch...we'll carry yours. Many prayers.

My son had a brain tumor at 10 years old.
He recovered thanks to God and St. Judes.
Pray, hope and dont worry.

When my father was treating at M.D. Anderson, we got off the elevator onto the wrong floor. Took a few steps & then realized that the 100 or so patients were all children, we were on the pediatric floor. Barely made it to the bathroom before tossing my cookies. Most horrific sight I have ever seen. God Bless & keep praying, never give up.

We lived in children’s for nearly three years, sometimes on the cancer floor and sadly it has the opposite effect on me, it did nothing to improve my view of humanity. From callous docs and nurses to families that abandon sick children, we were never lucky enough to see families nor anyone else band together, just a bunch of terrified and broken adults trying to keep above water. It’s a terrible place to be for any amount of time but thank heavens it’s there, I guess. Otherwise, many kids would never get the care they need.
My crew will definitely pray for this child and every other dealing with medical issues. We have learned from personal experience that prayer can be s as powerful as medicine.

My wife does some work for the local school system. Last year about this time, she found out one of the students she was working with online had cancer and wasn't doing well. She called in a few favors and got the kids address. She sent him a Christmas care package anonymously (stuffed animals and things like that). When she went to do testing in January/Feb he didn't show up. We found out he had passed over the holidays.
Hug your kids.

My son was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in November 2020 when he was 12. He has been in remission since January 2021 after his 2nd round of treatment and completed treatment at the end of March 2021. Let me know if your friend has any questions. Also, if your friend has Facebook, he/she might be interested in joining the ALCL pediatric group (spelled paediatric in the group name). As far as how to help the family, if a meal train has been started you can sign up to bring a meal one night. Gift cards are nice. I felt very touched when a family dropped off a card along with a gift card on Christmas Eve. Each of the family members wrote a message to my son on the card which brightened his night. Christmas didn’t feel quite the same with the diagnosis and treatment still being pretty new so thinking of my son and family on that night was very touching. Instead of saying “let me know if I can do anything to help”, just come up with a way to help without asking. The kindness of friends and strangers was amazing while my son was going through treatment. Thinking of your daughter as she hears the news about her friend.

I lost my 10 year old son to a rare cancer. It’s the worst feeling ever as a parent to see your child go through that. It’s been 12 years and I’ve not gotten close to being able to deal or come to terms with it. I miss my son everyday.
God saved us. But I know the desperation and hopelessness you feel to this day. I hope some day your family will have some peace, but knowing your baby is never coming back is unimaginable. We'll pray for you every day brother !

My former boss, one of two of the best bosses I ever had, has a grandson who is terminal with brain cancer. It is horrible to see what that family has to deal with. At the same time, they are handling it with the utmost of class and dignity. I supposed there will be a time when they will fall apart but for now, they need all the prayers they can get.
