Well I just couldn´t think of any other title!
I was hoping for my pathology reports today and unfortunately have to wait until next Tuesday. Apparently they´re running several new tests on the lemon and they´re going to take a little longer. Best be thorough I suppose, but this waiting is driving me crazy. So all I can say really is ¨Cancer Sucks!¨ even without a diagnosis, this process is horrendous.
However...What Really Sucks.... Cancer in children
It breaks my heart and puts my situation into perspective for me. So I wanted to share a story with you today. It´s about Cancer, lemonade and a truly inspirational little girl.
Alexandra "Alex" Scott was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a form of childhood cancer, shortly after her first birthday. She was a determined, strong willed toddler who by the age of 4 informed her mother that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand in her front yard. She wasn´t hoping for pocket money to buy some lollies at the shop, or even for new toys, she wanted to give the money to her doctors to help them find a cure.
At the age of 8 in 2004, Alex passed away with the knowledge that she and her supporters had raised over $1 million.
Today, Alex´s legacy lives on in the form of Alex´s Lemonade Stand Foundation, and has raised more than $25 million.
Now that´s making lemonade!
So make yourself a glass, then drop into their site and drop some change (or more) into their donation jar. Because until NO child is suffering from cancer, it will never be enough!

God bless you! I will pray for you with your battle because cancer does suck!!! My stepson was diagnosed with bone cancer at 11 and we spent about 1 1/2 years fighting! He is now completely healthy and cancer free as the were able to amputate his leg that contained the cancer! God is great and we are blessed!
nice information.It's so important to realize that every time you get upset, it drains your emotional energy.
