I found out today that my one-year-old cousin has leukemia.
Supposedly it's whichever kind is the hardest to cure. What makes
this especially wonderfull is that my aunt and uncle have had three
children. The first died at around 2 1/2 years old, having spent most
ofher life in the hospital. The third is the one with leukemia. The
second doesn't seem to have any major health problems, but if his
brother survives the chemotherapy, he's going to get to deal with
maybe being a bone-marrow donor at age 3.
