Lea

Hi, my name is Leandra and I am 13 years old. My Dad got diagnosed with lung cancer last Febuary, about 2 months ago it spread to the brain. I am really scared what is going to happen in the future. Its hard for me to sleep at night because all I can do is think about my Dad so I am really tired when I go to school and usually fall asleep during classes. I never excepted anything like this to happend. I am scared.

yeah me too!

We will check it out! Are you anywhere near Manistee, Michigan? From Jean

Hey guess what Caitlin?! My family be flying in for your party in July! I really want to meet you!

Hey Brittney Yeah, I do ice skating and I am on a synchronized ice skating called Diamond Chips. Our team's site www.thediamondchips.com

Hey Brittney! I'm glad you are goin to post too! Thats awesome that you live on a farm. Can't wait for your nexy post!

Karen C.~ I'm here... sorry i am not been on for a little while! I have been really caught up in ice skating...but I'm here now and I am not as busy since I just passed 2 more ice skating tests and I had to practice a lot for them! The tests were for ice dance so now I am on pre-silver level! Caitlin~ How's your Dad doing....any new news? That is very nice that you cut your hair for locks of love! Alex~ Try to reply soon! We miss you!

No I didnt watch the Preakness beacause I was at ice skating. But my Dad was there on the infield but I dont think he stayed for the race beacause he couldn't stay in the sun that long! But that is great about smartyjones!

Did you hear we might get a new forum for kids, but they have to ask the board first. Hopefully we will be able to! That is a good picture of you!

ok looking forward to Alex's reply!

I emailed the person in charge and requested a forum for kids. Hopefully he will consider it! Waiting for a answer from him! ~Lea

Dear Cindy, Congradulations on your daughter's graduation! ! Yeah I think we should have our own forum.

Hey Alex My name is Leandra but most people call me Lea. I live in Maryland and I have a dog named Ripley. He is a golden retriever. I love to ice skate, I do it about 5 days a week. I am on a synchronized ice skating team called the Diamond Chips. If you want to see my team look at this website: www.thediamondchips.com <--- if you do go to that site make sure you look in photogallery at all our team pictures. Caitlin if you can, look at it too!

Caitlin- I'm glad I can talk to someone who is going through the same thing and also has alot in common with me. That is a good picture of your family. Also that is really cool you are from South Korea. My mom said it is really pretty there because she has been there before. I dont have any brothers or sisters but I have a big dog named Ripley. He is a overweight golden retriever so he is kinda like a person to me beacause of his size. I'm glad your Dad is doing well too! ~Leandra

Caitlyn's Mom- If your daughter does want to talk to me, then when she has a chance could she please post a message to me. Thanks I hope she will want to!

Thanks, I just took it on my digital camera about 10 minutes ago!

Jamie- ok thanks! I am happy to hear about your dad! I will let you know the news tomorrow! -Leandra

Thanks Peggy, I hope so too! Sorry I forgot to tell you, my name is Leandra.

Thanks so much! That is really sweet of you Jamie! I'm sorry to hear about your Dad and it's good that both of our Dad's are goin through the same thing and stage because then I will know what you are talking about. Tomorrow I am going to the hospital with him and leaving school early. We are finding out major test results, I think. I am kind of nervous and scared to see what they are but I really want to still be there to support him. I hope it is good news! But today we got news that his cancer decresed 45% but he hoping for better!

Hi I am the 12 year old daughter of this user (my mom). My dad has lung cancer and he is in stage 3b. I was wondering if there are any other kids that have family members or parents going through something like this that would like to talk about it. xOxO ~ Lea's Daughter
