I too appreciate your writing here because it lets me know that I am not the only one who has heard of this terrible form of cancer. I hope you will visit often.

Date Posted: 12:34:32 03/01/08 Sat Pleasant, Thank you for your response. I was quite shocked when I read the introduction portion of your book and realized that your sister too, had rhabdo. It truly is a horrible childhood disease, but treatment has improved over the years. My sister lived for five years (after diagnosis) and I believe that many more children are surviving longer. I truly found so many pieces of your book applicable to my own experience and appreciate it greatly. I must say I had a true "light bulb" moment when reading about anniversary reactions and experiences. The timing of my own what I considered "seasonal" mild depression has always corresponded with the death of my beloved sister. I have always missed this! Even throughout my own training ( I have a masters degree in counseling)! I have ordered copies of your book for both my remaining siblings and hope that it can assist them in their process as well. WIth Thanks, Jody [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
