• 4-Year-Old Cancer Survivor’s Disney Wish Will Still Come True Even After Dad Refuses Permission for First Trip — See How

  In reply to Tigress1.

  Once upon a time, it was only for terminal kids. My brother was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in the mid ’80s when he was 1. He was considered terminal for the next 3 years and he suffered from the treatment. My parents applied to Make-a-wish (I can’t remember for what wish) and shortly after my brother made a miraculous recovery, and Make-a-wish took him off of their list since he was no longer considered terminal. His roommate was a teenage boy whose wish was to meet Mark Harmon, who came and spent time with the boy and brought him many gifts from the cast of St. Elsewhere. The poor child died soon after. I am glad that Make-a- Wish has changed since then and helps any child who is seriously ill.
  And just because this little girl is through with her treatments does not mean she will not still suffer. My brother STLL suffers from the after effects of his four years of surgeries, radiation, and chemo. I wish her all the best as she grows up.
