Cancer

Osteosarcoma is a word that most of us cannot even pronounce, let alone have to live through as a child. It all started with what mom and dad thought was just a swollen knee.

Although they do a lot of ribbing each other in the dugout and on the field, the bond between the Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo and pitcher Jon Lester goes deeper than just their love for baseball.

What this dad did for his son deserve that title of "World's Greatest Dad"! He got a tattoo to match his son's surgery scar.

When I first moved to this area, I had no idea what the 'Breast Garage Sale' was about. After finding out what it was about, it touched me.

I hate cancer. I hate it even more when it effects little children. The family of a sweet five year old boy is asking for our help in sending birthday cards to their son who has an inoperable tumor around his heart.

It was two days of incredible sharing and caring that helped to fight childhood cancer in a huge way.

Craniopharyngioma is not a word that most of us can pronounce, let alone have to live through.

When cancer touches us, it often seems that all hope is lost. Not for St Jude patient Lori.

Cancer is an awful disease and worse yet are the side effects patients deal with from having Chemotherapy. One Rockford Woman is using her chemo experiences to help others who are going through it now.

Oh my gosh, this is so sweet almost to the teary eye level. Nurses are heroes in my book and what this nurse does to help this young patient with cancer by singing to her, takes the cake of going beyond the call of duty.
