   Lauren,
   I am right here with you; crying for Alicia, Ethan and their entire family. I also read the terrible news last night, and wrote a very similar note on my blog. My heart aches and is heavy with sadness even though I don’t know her. Just being a mother I can’t imagine even facing this. I know you know full well how hard this is, and I would hug you if I could. And I would cry until I could cry nomore so you and Alicia would know you are not alone. Us mothers need to ban together and support each other no matter what.
   I don’t know what else to say to her or you but I will spread the word any way I can that Ethan needs prayers of hope.
   HUGS

   I’m sending lots of prayers for Ethan and his family. I’m a cancer survivor, and believe in the power of prayer. I know that is what got me through this battle. I had two different cancers at the same time, the doctors didn’t give me a very favorable prognosis, in fact, I should have died 5 years ago and here I am still cancer free at every test. Prayer groups from all over the country prayed for me. The doctors still shake their heads at my good health.

   I hope others will read this, and give just a few moments of their time to pray. I doesn’t take long, and you can do it anywhere. How nice is that?

   All my love,
   Jan

   Lauren:
   I’m a longtime fan, but have never posted before. I just wanted to pass along my support to you and to your friend’s son, Ethan. He looks like a beautiful and well loved child – I’m so sorry to hear that his cancer’s relapsed. Unfortunately, this is a story I’m used to hearing, so this coming Friday, I will be participating in the St. Baldrick’s Day (www.stbaldricks.org) fundraiser for childhood cancer research. I have been raising donations, and at High Noon, I will be cutting off 20+” of my hair (which will go to Locks of Love). St. Baldrick’s raises these funds for Research Grants to help beautiful children like Ethan get better…I just wanted you to know that there are folks fighting for him and all the other children who are ill!

   OH Lauren! Go have that cry! What difficult news to hear. We are all praying for Ethan and his family.

   Lauren you have such a big heart – so much compassion. I will never understand why good people – especially children – are attacked by cancer. It has no mercy. It is so difficult to deal with a loved one’s illness, especially when the prognosis is dire.

   Our cousin’s 7 YO daughter has been fighting leukemia for two years. The courage and strength that child and her family have shown is unbelievable.

   My mother died from thyroid cancer when she was only 55 – a very young and beautiful 55. That was 25 years ago and it still affects every aspect of my life. Her mother (my GM) also died from cancer. It is a frightening family history.

   My thoughts will be with you, Ethan, and his family. We will hope for a miracle.

   My heart hurts for Ethan and his family too. Oh my. I cannot imagine….
   Hugs and prayers are going up and will continue to do so.
   Hugs and love,
   Renee

   I just got this blog today – I am so sorry to hear about Ethan. I will keep them all in my prayers. Being a cancer patient myself – I know what the family is going through.

   I have Etan in my prayers, and I know how hard is to don´t know how things will turn out, but we must trust God and our faith, because he has a plan, even if we don´t understand it. God bless them and you, since thru you I have known her.

    Your post touched me and I wanted to spread the word so I added this info to my blog in the hopes that more people will donate and help put an end to cancer. If this country would only focus more time and money into cancer research instead of some of the other things it pays attention to, we could find a cure. My heart goes out to those who are dealing with this, especially the youngest victims. Prayers to all –

    Oh Lauren I am so sorry!
    We are going in tomorrow for an MRI of that lump just to make sure it is nothing and for a tonsilectomy. I am scared and sweating it now. I can not imagine her pain… Let us know what we can do to help.
    Whatever it is, please continue to ask.
