Online Friends

(Needless to say, this page takes a long time to load, so go chat while you're waiting.)

So many times we talk to faceless screen names. Here are some of my friends I've met online, mainly from the Cancer Support Chat room on AOL. Some are cancer survivors, some have cancer, some are taking care of a loved one with cancer, and some we now miss dearly.

Those who need your thoughts and prayers are marked with a .

 

Some here have web pages of their own, or would not mind receiving email from you. To go to their web pages, just click their picture. To send them email, click their screen name or email address. Keep in mind that people move, leave AOL, change their web page address w/o ever telling me. So YOU will have to tell me if there is a broken link.

 This collection of web pages is dedicated to my little friend, Kyla, who lost her battle with cancer in July of 99.

 



Kyla
11/1/94--6/14/99
http://www.makeachildsmile.org/angels/kyla.html

At 22 months old, Kyla was diagnosed with an inoperable and incurable brain stem tumor (Pontine Glioma). She went through five months of high dose chemotherapy until it became toxic to her body. Conventional medicine then gave up and with two months to live, she went Doctor Stanislaw Burzynski's clinic in Houston, Texas. After extensive, non-toxic treatments, the tumor stopped growing and the activity of the tumor decreased, until the summer of 1999 when it began to grow again and nothing would stop it.

This insurance company paid only for toxic therapies and not for the one therapy that gave Kyla a few years of joy. Her family is over their heads in debt. If you would wish to send a donation to cover their expenses, or clothing for their young children Savannah Lee (born 1/21/91) and Braelyn Margaret (born 3/29/99), the address is below. You may also send Mom (Juliet) an email asking her what she needs by clicking on Kyla's picture above.

Anything you wonderful people can do or send to help this family will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
