Cancer Sucks

We have some friends who are in need of prayer warriors, so who better to ask than our readers!!! You can read their personal stories through their caring bridge sites by clicking on their name.

Meet Claire. She's a precious little girl we met towards the end of Chelea's treatment. She doesn't have leukemia, but her cancer was miraculously cured quickly with some intense chemotherapy. We were thrilled to see her parents in October and hear of her good results. They are now facing a possible relapse though as Claire's AFP numbers are on the rise which likely indicates the worst. They had scans done today to check and see what is going on with her, but they won't get results until Wednesday. Please, please pray that her cancer remains in remission.

Also, I've mentioned our buddy Santos before. He is in Arizona with his mother seeking alternative therapies for his second relapse. Santos is one tough, fun-loving, active kid, and we love him! Please pray that these natural therapies will bring him into remission. If they are unable to get him into remission, these treatments should at least give him more time, and he will still be able to keep his energy and have a very high quality of life and feel good. He has spent way to much time in the hospital already and there just weren't any more chemo options for Santos in KC. Also if you live in the area and would like to help Santos and his family, they are holding a fundraiser later this month. If you can, please consider attending, it looks like A LOT of fun!!! Feel free to pass this fundraising information on through your blog or through emails.
