update

ansley has stage 3 rhabdomyosarcoma and started chemo yesterday. the tumor is eroding the bone at the base of her skull, and impacting her sinuses and palate. radiation should start next week. she won't be able to come home; she'll be hospitalized for the next (almost) year. please continue to think strong thoughts... she's going to have to fight hard.

update

ansley has been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma... they are unable to remove the tumor because of its size and location, and this sweet kindergartener will start 42 weeks of chemo and radiation on monday. only three hundred fifty kids a year get this diagnosis... that's one shitty lottery to hit. send love and good thoughts please. and money, if you can. st. jude's is worth it.

my friend's daughter, who just turned 6 this month, received a cancer diagnosis today. she. is. six. life isn't fair and my heart hurts. they are off to st. jude's in memphis for at least two weeks. if you pray, such a thing is appreciated. if you believe the universe provides, please think good, brave thoughts. no momma should lose her baby. love to the smith's. let's all send a little love.
