I'm so sorry to hear that! It really, deeply scares me when I hear of young kids getting sick like that. I always think of my nephews and how I love them so much even though they aren't my own children...I would be devastated if anything happened to them. It just doesn't seem fair for a child to have that...they haven't had time to abuse their bodies in ways that might lead to those things. She's certainly in my thoughts and prayers...as are all you emet moms!!!

Like everyone else who has posted a message she will be in my prayers,god i cant imagine how any mum copes with that kind of news,but if this can be of any reasurance in one small way let me just tell you that i see children like that often as i am a volenteer on a childrens ward in a local hospital,and they NEVER cease to amaze me with all that they go thru with treatment and sometimes side effects,they can feel so ill some days thru treatment which i must stress OFTEN works really well,and then the next day they will say to me"hey chrissy come and play on this with me or lets do this etc etc"....They seem to cope much better than the adults do,i think its because they dont have the "worry thing"we grown ups get that then leads to our stress,lets all send you and your friend all our love,chrissy.x

hi dragonfly,everyone responds different to treatment,you just have to take it a day at a time. A friend of mine he is 53 and has lung cancer,at the mo he is having chemo,the only side effects he gets is really bad tiredness for a few days till his next treatment,he has never been sick or even felt it.So like i say,take a day at a time,i am certain you will find the strength to be there for your friend and her little girl,and i am always here for you if you need any kind of support,as i am certain most of us on the forum will be,keep us posted,and look after yourself as well,love n hugs,chrissy.x

She had an op yesterday, her mum text me to say she was wozy but out of theatre. I only assume this is a biopsy to see if its benign or not. Her mum sends a text to report whats happened, but the rest of our conversation is EVERYTHING but.. i think maybe she doesnt want to talk about it.
Must be so hard for her. Her world must have shattered over night

We talked about sweets, high school musical etc..... she even asked how my danni was.
Just not jazmine.

I bet she's glad to have you to help take her mind off things. You're being a great friend by chatting with her about whatever she wants to talk about! I would imagine that sometimes she just needs a little "break" from it. I agree with Chrissy, kids seem to be so much more resiliant than adults! It's probably because they don't have many negative life experiences yet to crush their fragile little spirits. God bless her.
