I'm sitting at my desk crying (Warning, very sad)

Because of this:

I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. I feel so awful for this couple and their family. I really hope they get a miracle. I will be praying for them. Crying

Wow. That is so sad, this is one of my fears getting cancer at a young age. I have anxiety over it. Hopefully that little girl has a loving extended family.

A good friend of mine lost her husband less than a week after he was diagnosed with sudden onset leukemia. Yet I have a coworker with I forget what form of cancer that has spread so much she will someday lose her battle but lives a normal healthy life otherwise. She was diagnosed 5 years ago. I really hate when doctors give a chance of surviving and put such a strong emphasis on it. To me it would make it that much harder to beat the odds.

That is absolutely awful. My heart breaks for them.

oh my goodness, my prayers to them and their daughter. How sad.

That is devestating. That video had me in tears. What a great support system they have though.

That is unbelievably sad.

This is so, so sad!! This actually happened to one of DH's coworkers families. His cousin and her husband were both diagnosed with terminal cancer. My DH's company did a benefit for them and instead of having a holiday party, they donated the money to this family. They both ended up passing away. My heart was breaking for their 3 children as it is for this little girl

Oh my! That is heartbreaking. Thank the good Lord they have a strong network of family & friends. T&Ps (LOTS) for them.

My parents knew someone who had been giving a 10% chance of surviving surgery to remove a brain tumor. He survived! A couple of years later, his wife was diagnosed with a totally treatable cancer, and given like an 80% chance of living and she passed. There are some people who do beat the odds, otherwise it would be 0% chance.

I can't bring myself to open the article.

That is terrible. It makes me very sad. I am terrified of death & sometimes obsess over it. I want to grow old with DH & DD. I want to always be there for them. I also want DD to grow old & DH too.

I am a hospice nurse so I am always dealing with patients that have those "odds" of living or dying. All I can tell them is that I want them to beat the odds too. And even in hospice we see it happen sometimes. I pray for this family. I can't imagine being in their shoes. So sad.
