The only thing that I can imagine that would be worse than me having this aggressive, advanced cancer would be my son having cancer. Truly, I don't know what I would do if I had to watch him go through something like I've gone through during the past eight months.The practice that I go to treats adults only.

Do it for the children. more about "SU2C: suffer the children", posted with vodpod
