N8ivWarrior: Paging through Blogspot

And a little over the edge.

Paging through Blogspot

Published Sunday, February 05, 2006 by John Burkholder | E-mail this post

I began paging through Blogspot and came upon this... Christi Thomas. Christi is an eight year old girl from Ohio who has Neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer of the nervous system striking about 600 children in the U.S. per year. There are no genetic or environmental causes; it appears to strike at random. Seventeen years ago this was 100% fatal. Christi’s cancer spread beyond the tumor around her heart and along her spine and was 98-99% packed in her bone marrow. Upon diagnosis on September 11, 2002, she was given a 35% chance of surviving five years and a much lower chance of surviving 10-20 years.

Christi is a fighter and I will think of her and her family. I have also added her link to my site.

By the way, I have yet to stumble into a teenagers site. I wonder how many are here. Lots of international sites.
