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 what I've gone through the past eight months.

The practice that I go to treats adults only. The Chemo Room is full of adults; I don't have to see children who have cancer facing the same things that we adults who are there face every day. Yet I know that children do face the same things -- surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. D who writes the blog Tunnel Vision wrote a beautiful tribute to his daughter Emmy, who he lost to cancer, in his post Cancer. It's a heartbreaker, I'll tell you.

The following video is another heartbreaker, a tearjerker. There's your warning: get out the kleenex. It's worth watching, though, because this is a reality of life. Children do get sick. Children do get cancer. And this is one reason why we need to Stand Up To Cancer. This is one reason why we all need to do what we can to publicize how much more resources are needed to push forward for a cure for cancer. People are dying; children are dying, and that is just wrong.

One of Nate's classmates last year had a sister who had previously died as a baby of brain cancer. How very sad.

It happens too often. Watch the video. I can't imagine anyone watching it and not being touched by it.

Watch it and then Stand Up To Cancer.

Do it for the children.
