The "C" Word

I don't know if you know it or not but cancer (specifically Leukemia) strikes people with Down Syndrome at a higher rate than it strikes the general population. Why? I don't know. Lately, it seems that many of 'our' Down Syndrome group have had their bouts with Cancer. It's a horrible word...It's a horrible disease. One friend, lost his son, Pierce, to leukemia over the Christmas holiday. (some holiday, huh?) Several others have had their kids diagnosed recently. I hope you will keep them in your thoughts and prayers. It's scary when your child is sick. How much more scary is it when you hear that 'C' word?
