It isn't even that the chemo is difficult, it's that it is so drawn out. The surgery and radiation last summer was the difficult part of this process. You could physically see the ass kicking effects on her. Chemo is a whole different process. It kind of nucs all the bad stuff but then also kills the good in the process. What I know is that we are ready to celebrate as a family that Mia is going to be OK. We have no choice but to extract whatever good came of all this, and move on. I think we are much better people for going through this and we plan on helping others in like situations. We will encourage Mia to speak to other children with cancer when she is ready.

But as a parent, sitting there watching tube after tube hooked up to your child - it will toughen you up quickly. There are many types of struggles in life - this one here, I'll take for the team and hope that none of you ever need to know what I know and feel what I've felt.
