To the person who "shoots from the hip": It sounds more like you have anger issues and should get them worked out. You cannot be serious that children will read this site, as it is hardly marketed or of interest to any child. Clearly this site is for adults unlike yourself, that can handle the reality of the situation they are dealing with. Since you are not telling people who you are, you are not only angry, but your are cowardly. People going through this terrible disease need to know what to expect. It is not less dignifying for the child in any way, and I am personally offended that you would try to make people feel bad about sharing their stories. We need to know and we need to share, it is the only way to get through this. Now please keep your ignorant comments to yourself. If you don't want to learn more about this tumor, then don't read this site, or any other site about this disease. Thank you for understanding.
