Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 13 | Hi all, It's been such a long time since I've been by here - things have been difficult on my part but the best bit from all this is that my Daughter Hayley is doing FANTASTIC. She remains in remission and every appointment goes well. She still isn't happy having the camera check ups...hates the camera going up her nose/down her throat! She is approaching 1 year in remission in August and that's the time she has decided to have a celebration party! She remains so positive - I admire her so much for her attitude. She is one hell of a gal - she just takes everything in her stride. I want to say thank you to all of you who helped, advised, and supported us/her whilst walking this journey. Forever thankful. Mandy

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I have wondered many times how she is doing. She sure is one lil tough gal to be as brave as shw is during all of this. I admire that kid and to me she is an inspiration for any age group, young or older. I sure wish I could attend her party and meet such a tough lil gal. Give her my best and I for one knew she was going to win her war with this trash called OC Have a great day and thank you for letting us know how ghood she is doing.
