Our eighteen-year-old son has survived this cursed illness, and his life is forever touched not only by cancer, but also being hit by a drunk driver three months after his diagnosis. By God's grace plus the dedication and expertise of doctors and researchers our son lives thirty years later."       Her advice is don't despair, become a fighter.
