My daughter is now six (and a half she insists on my saying it) and has been enjoying four years of NED (No evidence of disease). She too had a brain tumor (Meduallablastoma) that was very large and had spread to her spine, she was classified as an M4. She was diagnosed just before her second birthday and went through 5 rounds of intense, high dose chemo therapy, and a bone marrow transplant. Her treatment was all in patient so our hospital stays were long. The community was wonderful as people from so many Churches and Mosques came together, prayed together, gave blood and did everything we needed to sustain us. Our daughter, Ameena, had her resection in Northern California, and her treatment in Los Angeles. Every step of the way there were tests, trials and blessings. Every step. Faith helped, even during the days I was upset that this could happen to my only child, and such a small child at that. I got a lot of support from everywhere, as you do now. You have my cousins in Palestine all the way in the Middle East also reading and also praying. Ameena showed courage in the face of something that we could not really control, or understand. We could just learn and pray (or pray and learn). She shows me that every day the small things should not matter and every day I am thankful that she is such a vibrant girl. I pray to see her grow, graduate, marry and have kids. I know your mom's feelings very well, and her hopes. I also now have those hopes for you. I look forward to 62 weeks going by quickly, with ease, with love, faith and patience. 62 weeks then a beautiful life to build everything you've dreamed of with your new husband. Thank you for sharing your journey. Kind Regards, with love, respect and peace.
