Am glad this little girl got her wish.
I know very little about leukemia. Is it painful?
Just when we think there is no good left in the world.
Just watching that little video clip made me gasp.
Broke my heart.
I’m not an Oncologist. I figure it is though but they give them a lot of painkillers.
Why are kids still dying of leukemia ? The vast majority can be cured by chemo and most of those that relapse can be cured by CAR-T. CAR-T unfortunately however costs half a million dollars
My heart goes you to that young lady, but I kind of wonder how young “DJ” will deal with this. Perhaps it is harmless and he’ll simply feel the grief of loosing someone close.
This was a very wonderful thing for Emma. Good thing it wasn’t a legal wedding because the poor young boy would be responsible for her medical bills.
I thought Joe cured cancer. You mean, that was a lie? Joe would never lie, or even stretch the truth, would he?
The article says her leukemia was ‘incurable’, in other words chemo resistant. That’s exactly what CAR-T is for. Doesn’t say if she was treated with CAR-T. Poor/incomplete journalism.
“Poor/incomplete journalism.”
The story wasn’t to satisfy your pedestrian views on cancer treatments. It was about the goodwill nature of her getting her dying wish.
The dumbing down of America, reading comprehension is shot to Hell.
Walnut Cove is near Winston-Salem, the home of the Brenner Children’s Hospital. A friend’s child had his childhood leukemia treated there. The kid’s living at the beach now.
Joe has cured every everything except Trump. They haven't found a cure for Trump yet. They are hoping Jack Smith is it.
The article said she was in a lot of pain but refused the painkiller because she didn’t want to fall asleep during the ceremony. That young man is incredible.
Very touching and, I have great hopes for that good young man. Not every ten year-old boy would have taken part so willingly.
Sweet and heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing.
From the article:
“ ‘She was in a lot of pain when we got her dressed. It wore her out but she wanted to hold off on pain meds because she didn’t want to fall asleep at her wedding.”
:’(
DJ is more of a man than many I know.
May our Lord bless him and his love Emma’s family.
May all their days be a blessing to Him.
Does st. Jude supply that?
What is a 'pedestrian view' on cancer treatments ? An article like this is written for a broad audience and different readers are looking for different things. I understand wanting to present this as a tragic story, and it is, but it's also missing some detail. A lot of people would like to know why is a child dying of a disease that is considered 'conquered'.
