We are a family of 4 who in the last 10 years have been through enough for several families. In 1997 our daughter (Leah) was diagnosed with leukemia (ALL). It was devastating. At first the cancer wasn't responding to chemotherapy. Then finally 2 wks into treatment it went into clinical remission. We suffered through hospitalizations and hundreds of chemo treatments with her. We are happy to say the cancer is still in remission and we just had a clean check-up on Aug 30, 2007. I know it doesn't sound like we are in such a bad time, but we had many frightening experiences along the way that cost more than we have. Leah almost died 3 times. She had a unrinary tract problem that was feared to be cancer, but was not. (It is damage due to the strong chemo she was given because it didn't initially respond). Our youngest daughter (Lyndsea) also had a cancer scare. She had a high fever so I took her to the doctor. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong with her so she ran some tests. She had blood in her urine. (micro) We were still not well enough mentally to have another round with cancer. It cleared up. The dr. said it was probably a fall that caused it. We've had many other terrible experiences including both of our girls being diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis (NF). We have many expenses that we cannot afford. Please help. Thank you Gentry
