I helped to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Roxboro Cares :)

I'm raising money for childhood cancer research! Please donate to Carolyn Meyer's page if you would like to make a donation. When the doctors found Rebecca's second tumor and told us there was nothing more traditional medicine could do, we explained what was happening to five-year-old Rebecca by telling her that the medicines we'd been giving her weren't working, and we were looking for "special medicine" (a research drug). When we were accepted into a study that was several hours from our home and that needed to be given every other day, we again used the term "special medicine" to explain why she needed to drive a long way to get it. After a month of the research treatments, an MRI revealed that Rebecca's tumors were large and everywhere. We were out of the study, and no other study would accept her at that point. A few days later, she was very mad at me, her mom. She glared at me, huffed and puffed, and acted out, but wouldn't tell me why. After a long time talking with her, she finally said she was mad because she thought that I had stopped looking for "special medicine". Hugging her fiercely, I told her I would never stop looking for "special medicine". Two days after that, Rebecca died on June 7th, 2014, her sixth birthday. Please help St. Baldrick's help me never stop looking for "special medicine" until it's found. Thank you.
