HOLY MOLEY!
SAKES ALIVE!
NO MORE CHEMO!
AFTER MAY 20, 2005!!

WELCOME TO MADIE'S WEB PAGE!

I keep it updated so that my friends and my family will know what is happening in my life after being diagnosed with "pre-B" Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on March 21, 2003.
It was just a few weeks after my 4th Birthday!
I am now off all Chemotherapy!

>









Once upon a time, in a place that is no more,
I lived without Cancer, before I turned four.
Now I am six and almost to seven.
I talk about dying and going to Heaven.
Lots of times it’s hard and I can’t keep things straight.
My mom says it’s the chemo and all the medicine I ate.
I worry too much and wake up at night screaming.
Mostly I’m crying because I think my mom’s leaving.
The worst thing is that I don’t know what I did.
How come I got Cancer when I’m just a little kid?

How come?

Click here for my mom's page where she writes about me! She doesn't have the time to update as much, but the stories are really great!

**ATTENTION!!--Updated June 19, 2008!!
WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER?

===========***==========





And........I'm calling all you 'Angels' out there!
Do you want to help one of us Sweetie Cancer Children's fight this terrible disease?
Well guess what, YOU CAN!!
All you need to do is go by the website for the Cancer Warriors and become a Family Angel! I can't even begin to tell you how totally awesome, fantastical, superfantabulous it feels to have a Family Angel!
Back when I was on chemo, it was the greatest thing to ever happen to me. That is something that I will, not ever, forget in my whole wide world life!


For all the Sweetie Cancer Kids that are going to CAMP SUNSHINE next week, don't forget that the bus will leave for camp at 1:00pm this coming Sunday, June 22nd. Please meet at the Camp Sunshine House between 12:15pm and 12:45pm for check-in with the nurses and to get luggage tags! Remember, lunch will not be provided at camp on Sunday, so be sure to eat before you get on the bus! We will be back on Saturday, June 28th at 9:00am!

Hi Everybody!

Well, my mom's computer got electrocuted by a terrible storm at the beginning of last week, so I have been without a computer for a very long time. Lighting hit our house, right outside my window (less than three feet away) when we were cleaning my closet! (the cable comes into our house right at my closet baseboard) It was SOOOOOO WEIRD!!!! There was a bright flash of white light----A HUGE KABOOOOOOOMMMMMMM---and the hair on our arms stood up! I jumped a foot right into my mom's arms! It was the closest that I have ever come and actually 'see'...I mean 'feel' lighting. I could feel the electricity go through my body---it was so crazy and weird! Like being ZAPPED with lots of static electricity. My mom has told me stories about it, cause it has happened to her lots and lots of times. Secretly, I really never believed her.......until now!!

But, it was really, really hard to not have a phone or computer.

And now, at last, I get to use a computer! YEAH!!! Thank you so much for Circuit City and their wonderful "Back to School" deals!!

But what is worse is that my wonderful friend from Camp Sunshine has died. My mom has just told me tonight and I am very upset. I just want to go to bed and cry. You can read his story on the AJC at:

My school starts on Monday.
I have been very busy getting ready, but I just can't wait!
I LOVE SCHOOL!!!

And, for the first time, I have a man teacher! WHoa! That is gonna be great!!! I can't wait for 4th Grade to start!

And, Saturday is softball sign up.
I can't wait to play! But then again, I am thinking that I might want to do gymnastics instead. But, that is a whole lot more money than softball because I have to pay gym fees each month and my mom is on a very tight budget. So, we will see......

And, don't forget!
Monday is Spa Sydell night at the Camp Sunshine House for all us sweetie Cancer Childrens! Don't forget to call Miss Ann and let her know if you want to come and have a wonderful time with me and my mom!

And, don't forget!
August 26th is the "Seasonal Sunshine" at the Camp Sunshine House for all us Sweetie Cancer Childrens! Don't forget to call Miss Ann (again!) and let her know if you want to come have lots of great fun with me and my mom!

And, I have a very big surprise!
A Rally Team that is running in the Disney Marathon on January 10th, 2009 has picked me as their inspiration!
I am so excited!
I will post Rally Team webpage next time, cause right now I need to get to bed.

Thank you to all you guys who have kept me and my mom in your thoughts and prayers while we get through this stupid Cancer Fight! You guys all have Angel Wings coming for sure!

Talk to you soon!...........your friend, Madie Rylee.
