This is not a joke, or an urban legends. My co-worker husband plays baseball with Hannah's dad. She is a 10yr old diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. She had a mastectomy. They have a webpage (being hit hard-it was on our local news a couple of days ago). If you would like to visit the site and send any good wishes her way, the website is as follows: http://www.ourlittlesweetpea.com/?page_id=105 It is hard to load, but eventually you get through, they still have links you can visit, and they are trying to get another website to handle the additional traffic. It just makes me sad.

    I have heard of this
    I hoped that it was a hoax because it makes me sick to think of a 10-year-old with breast cancer. To have a mastectomy before you even have breasts is just... I don't know the word.

    La Mirada
    I am in So Cal, La Mirada is not far away, I heard about her right after her diagnosis from one of my co-workers. Her husband plays baseball with Hannah's dad. I asked her to keep me informed because I was just completely dumbfounded when I heard. She just told me this week that the surgery had taken place. She did have some breast tissue, and it was removed. They haven't said yet what takes place next. I think the website (which has been hit hard) is trying to keep everyone informed. But I'm sure it is a very trying time for the whole family.
    My prayers and good wishes are going out to them all (and all of you in this wonderful little group!)

    GOOD GRIEF!!!
    A CHILD?!? I am sick to my stomach... Have never heard of one so very young!?! How in the world does a little girl, before the hormones even begin to kick in, get BC??? How in the heck can she possibly understand what's happening to her? Honestly, Cat, if I wasn't reading this right here and from YOU - I'd be very skeptical.

    No one is safe from the beast, no one, not even children? How very, very sad... :-(

    I hope you communicate, via your coworker, that you've now rallied the ACS CSN Breast Cancer Group behind this unfortunate little girl and her family. Thanks, Cat, for letting us all know (I'm in the Midwest) so that we can support with hopes & prayers.

    Kind regards, 12/25

    How dumb am I???
    I thought children got mostly "childhood cancers" - certainly horrid enough, but unique to their age range... On top of this, they also can get "adult cancers"??? Good grief...

    There is nothing fair about
    There is nothing fair about breast cancer, I am in disbelief. The one thing I do know is how strong and resilient children are. God, save our littlest Angel!
