15 Truths...

LAST NIGHT SOME DEAR FRIENDS SENT ME A LINK TO AN ARTICLE- 15 TRUTHS TO HAVING YOUR CHILD DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. THIS ARTICLE HIT ALL TO CLOSE TO HOME. NO, LADYBUG DOES NOT HAVE CANCER, SHE HAS NEUROFIBROMATOSIS. IT'S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION WE'VE BATTLED AGAINST FOR MONTHS. THEY ARE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS, YET THEY ARE SO SIMILAR.  AT SOME POINT I STOPPED FIGHTING THE COMPARISON. WHY... BECAUSE CANCER SUCKS! NF SUCKS! HELL, TUMORS IN GENERAL SUCK! CANCER AND NF MAY BE TWO DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS' BUT THEY ARE BOTH TREATED WITH POISON. POISON THAT DESTROYS THE "NORMAL" LIFE WE THOUGHT OUR CHILD WOULD HAVE. DIFFERENT JOURNEY'S TRAVELING DOWN THE SAME ROAD. 

LOVE AND PRAYERS TO ALL OF OUR CHEMO BUDDIES!
