Just wanted to share.

Today is the seven year anniversary of the day my wife and I heard the most devastating words of our lives:

YOUR DAUGHTER HAS CANCER

HOWEVER, I am proud to say that our then 3 year old daughter, Francesca, after having received NINE HUNDRED consecutive days of Chemo, 25+ Spinal Taps and various other procedures, is now a healthy young girl who will turn 11 in April.
STAY HEALTHY!

    I cannot imagine what that could be like. We recently had our first. He is about to turn 5 months. My prayers are with you that she stays healthy.

    That's great news Doug.

    I can't imagine how tough that was for Francesca and for that matter - you and your wife!

    I'm humbled by the fact that I had a very healthy son and hope it stays that way.

    I wish and your family all the best.

    Hi Doug,

    With tears of joy in my eyes and a lump in my throat, I applaud your precious little Francesca for ALL that she has endured over the past seven years.

    God must have some very special plans for your little angel.

    What a brave little girl she is!

    Please give her a hug for Poppa and tell her that I will ALWAYS be praying for her image

    God bless you and your wife .... and especially Francesca!

    I'm so glad to hear that Francesca is now healthy. I cannot even begin to imagine all the pain and suffering she (along with you and your wife) has endured. May you be blessed for your devotion and sacrifices. May Francesca live to a ripe old age and have a wonderful life.
