On the plus side she is amazingly resilient to Chemo, but she goes in tomorrow to operate on her leg to try and knit the bone and it will be the first time they lay eyes on the cancer itself.

9 hour operation, hoping for the best.

So many types of cancer I'm sure they will cure some eventually.

I wish your niece all the very best, zipping. One thing kids have on their side is that they are still growing. Older folk don't have that on their side, unfortunately.
