Leda,
Praise God for this wonderful answer to prayer. Annette and I have been praying every night for Talia and she asked me last night for an update. I was so excited when I checked the web site to find her brain tumors are stable. God is doing such amazing work in Talia's life!! We will keep praying that He will be glorified in her life. And, for you to continue to stand stong and faithful to Him, who is the giver of Life!

I know your Christmas will be filled with depth and meaning as you celebrate God's amazing rescue in sending Jesus to be with us.

Love,
Wendy Seefried

Your story is truly amazing. Being a Mother myself, I have an 8 year old daughter and I can not even begin to think about how it must feel to walk in your shoes so I can only wish you and your beautiful daughter a life time of blessings. Not only were you blessed with Talia but she was truly blessed by given such a loving, dedicated and supportive Mommy. Talia seems like such an amazing little girl. After reviewing her website, I know that she is a fighter and I pray that God will bless her with good health. God never gives us more than we can handle. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May you have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Dear Talia and Family,

I believe in miracles and I still believe that Talia can beat this cancer. I don't care how "smart" it is--God is smarter and I will continue to pray that He will heal her. She is such a beautiful little girl and we still need her wonderful smile in this world. Nobody should have to go through what all of you are going through.

May God Bless You and Keep You in His Care!

Although I do not know exactly what you are going through, I can't even begin to imagine, and yet I can share in your pain through prayer. God does answer our prayers, however, sometimes it's not in the way we think He should. Trust Him, for only He knows exactly how you are hurting and what is best. Talia is His precious child. Praying for His healing!

We were sorry to miss you but will definetly see you soon. We will be in Baltimore the first Sunday and Monday of December. I will text you to see if we can say hello. Austin is helping me w. this entry. He just told me to tell Talia "Happy Birthday" he loved her birthday party - still talks about Talia's moon bounce.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers every day. Talia has been through so much and has fought so very hard. Please give her a hug and a kiss from her friends at the beach. We keep praying for your miracle. Lots of love, Laura

Leda, I dont even know how to begin this entry, I am truly sorry to hear the news. I know that you are not giving up on talia, but I want to encourage you to keep hope. If you havent before, I would suggest you go to Janessa Byers website.(www.janessabyers.com) Janessa is 7 and has rhabdomyosarcoma, the doctors gave her a 0% chance of survival, and told her parents that options had run out. Her family would not accept the doctors words, Janessa read (and still reads) healing scriptures from her bible everyday, and claims her healing, and in 3 months with no chemo or radiation her tumors shrunk amost into nothing, her doctors are astounded... I pray to god that I dont sound patronizing, Please dont think Im saying, "you should do this" or "If you only believed" because I know that is absolutely NOT the case. I want to offer you hope that Talia is strong and the doctors are speaking from their experience, but ultimately it is God's decision and Talia's destiny. I adore your family and sweet talia so much, I pray for you everyday and I hope that things get better for you guys. You are so strong Talia, you have fought so hard.. :) Keep fighting

People say it gets better, but it's been 6 years for me and it doesn't get better.

I have followed your story for some time. Your family has certainly had it's trials and tribulations and yet remained faithful and positive. My heart broke, Leda, when I read that you are starting a new job in the midst of all that is going on in your family lately. Did you know that a fellow caringbridge family has started a foundation to help families such as yourself? http://www.jakesfoundation.org
You need a break and they may be able to help.

I keep checking everyday for updates, and once I read about all her meds that you have to keep track of, I completely understand that your time is taken up with more important things! Hope you're feeling better, Talia, and I am so glad to hear that you are eating! Hugs to you!

Dear Talia,

It was so good to see you and your Daddy this week (your Mom? Well, I guess :)

Thanks for coloring with me. You are so silly. I think you colored every square and I colored only one. That's okay, I'm not really that good at coloring. You are, though.

You looked really beautiful when I saw you. I know, I did too, right? (

Jerome, you are looking great, too. Wow! What a journey you have been on. Next time we meet, I expect to see a full smile. Now, if you call me Mrs. Zimmerman one more time, I will have to knock you out!

Yankees? No need to speak right now about that subject.

Leda, my dear sweet friend. You amaze me each time I see you. You may think you are losing it at times, but I think you are doing an amazing job.

Hey, did I tell you we were invited to hang out with President and Mrs. Bush this weekend? I don't know how it came about but we are meeting them tomorrow at 11am.
GOTTCHA!!!!!!!!!!

Take care of yourselves.

Think about you each day. Keep us posted on everyone.

We are so relieved that Talia's brain tumors are not causing this latest mystery. Hopefully, like you said, those tumors are dead and will never cause her or you any worries again. Hopefully, this lastest problem is just a case of her being a little worn down from surgery and chemo. With some nutrituion from the feeding tube, we pray that she will bounce back and be her old self again. Stay strong. You are in our constant thoughts and prayers.

Alexa was recently diagnosed with CCSK, a rare Cancer, affecting only 20 people in the US annually. I couldn't get on this site before when I was trying to show Alexa Talia's picture. I will hopefully get to show her tomorrow. She loves the princesses as well. We will be praying for Talia tonight and always. God Bless & hope you have a GREAT birthday fit for a true princess!

I pray for Talia each and every day and I know that God will answer my prayers.

I would like to know when is Talia's birthday and what she would like to have? She is always on my mind I guess because I have a 4 yr. old daughter as well and I just can't imagine her going through what Talia is going through. She is really my hero all the way.

Take care and continue to praise God and he will see you all through this.

Hi Guys!

Prayers are continually heading your way for Jerome and Talia. Leda, you are one heck of an amazing woman!
I miss seeing you guys.

Emily is at Camp Sunrise this week. We don't have any contact with her, which is kinda weird. She hasn't been away from me for this long. I miss my sidekick.

The NYY/O's game was on a very hot day. Our pics didn't turn out that great. We were seated 3rd row back from the NYY dugout. Brett and his friend were able to get up close to ARod, Jeter and Damon (I kept calling him Matt Damon all day). No autographs, though. By the time they got to Damon, he was walking away. NYY won so all wasn't lost.
I'm off to work in my classroom today, as school starts in a few weeks. My, the Summer flew by.

Take care of yourselves. Think of you always.

We've been thinking about you guys... Its so wonderful to hear some of her tumors are gone! I've seen some comments about her hearing, has she lost much from the chemo? Rachel has, she's getting hearing aids within the next couple weeks. I'd like to try to reschedule that playdate we havent had a chance to have yet!! I hope to talk to you soon. Tell Jerome we say hello and we hope he is doing well. We always keep you in our prayers... Take care.

Hearing aids don't worry she'll just be happy to hear again, fully. And when you see the difference it brings to her it will be so worth it. She is so tough I don't see this stopping or bugging her to much if at all.
I am happy to hear Jerome is getting there. It's been a long road for him too. I hope his pain settles real soon.
Keeping all of you in my prayers.
God Bless and be with you all!

Dear Pleasant Family,
I have never signed Talia's guestbook before but I have been following her story on caringbridge for several months. I have kept her at the top of my prayer list. I am so glad to hear the good news! I will continue to pray that the chemo and radiation can wipe out what is left. I feel like I've gotten to know her through your journal entries. She seems like such a little angel. She has a beautiful smile and she truly is a fighter. I believe that she can beat this terrible monster called cancer. I will continue to keep all of you at the top of my prayer list. KEEP FIGHTING TALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take Care. I wish you the best.

God Bless You!

Hi Talia, Mom & Dad - I had heard about you, Talia, because my friend/co-worker is the Co-Chair for the North Worcester Co. Relay for Life. I heard you plan on coming, I hope you can; you'll have fun! You certainly are quite a trooper (that means - you are really good at doing your best no matter what). I am very happy you are back home and enjoying the outdoors. I will say a prayer for you! I hope your dad, also, stays well! Remember you are never alone - God is always with you ---- He comes to us in all different ways - like the sweet little sparrow chirping outside - or the soft voice inside of you that tells you, "you'll be okay" - or looking at pretty flowers - or the cartoon that makes you laugh until you can't breathe, etc. Take Care of each other!

Went throught the same thing with Brittany. If it was their child it would have gotten done but they get to go home to healthy kids every day. Stay on top of them!!

Sorry you didn't get the chemo scheduled this week, I know you are anxious to get started w. Talia's treatment. I know you'll stay on them :-)

It was so great to see you all this week. Austin and I were just talking about his friend "tee-a." and riding the silly faces elevator. He also recalls "crashing the cars" - oh 2 yr old boys! I have an even better idea for the Childrens House Gala (if you are all up for it) "PRINCESSES!!" Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty ... That way Talia can dress up too. ( I beleive she even has an outfit from a "secret santa").

Keep your chin up. We will have you in prayers tonight, as we do each night. Jerome, good luck next week. Talia - austin sends hugs and kisses from the ocean! Leda, you still amaze me w. your strength.

We'll talk to you soon.

I guess that during the day it could happen that a child invents some "pain" to have some attention. But at night, you are right, I don't think that a child wakes up just to pretend that she is in pain. Well, it is good to know that she is a bit better now, and have fun at the beach! Many hugs!

Jerome and Leda, I pray that God will give you strength and faith to get through this. Trust him, he knows what he is doing. Please don't lose faith or give up. Remember that there are a lot of people that love you guys and are praying for you.

Love Always,

sometimes the mission that we feel we were mandated to fulfill fails... the deeper courage is to understand that
the true mandate was to fail

and to stand guiltless in the predicament that you find yourself in

there is a crack in everything...that's how the light gets in

Whose report will we believe? We SHALL believe the report of the Lord! God is in control, and Healing IS Talia's. God is faithful and He is sovereign. Pray without ceasing and continue to speak LIFE & WELLNESS over your babygirl. Accept NOTHING but the word of GOD as an answer...allow NO negative words & thoughts of others (including medical professionals) to enter into her ears or yours...Stop them in mid-sentence if necessary. I believe God for 100% recovery of your baby, and all her little cells be made new In JESUS name. God is a HEALER!!

She is such a beautiful girl. It's sad how some of us complain about just getting a little cold. Yet you see someone like Talia facing so much and yet still smiles through it all. God Bless her so much. God Bless and be with you all.

<3 Katie

I said a prayer for you today I know God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word

I didn't ask for wealth and fame I knew you wouldn't mind
I asked Him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind

I asked that He'd be near you at the start of each new day
to grant you health and blessing and a friend to share your way

I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small
but it was for his loving care that I prayed most of all

A giraffe looks in my window
At the same time everyday,
He just appears with silly ears,
When I turn on the light to play.

I tell him the things I do at two
While he munches and crunches the leaves,
That are so very tasty too,
From the tippy tops of the trees.

One night he didn�t look so good,
His eyes were filled with pain.
I asked him, "What is the problem, the food?"
He said, "I must explain!"

"My knees are hurting pretty bad
And my long neck is so sore.
I really do like our talks,
But I can't take much more!
If you do a favor for me,
I know how my pain will be free.

CAN YOU MOVE UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR!!!

Lots and lots of hugs and prayers!

<3 Katie

Lord Jesus, please lay your healing hands on Talia and destroy every cancerous cell in her body. I pray that these new tumors are germ cell and not adrenal cancer, and that you give wisdom to her doctors. Lord, we trust that you know what is best for Talia. You love her so much. Be with her and her family, comfort them and protect her little body from the treatment she undergoes. In your most precious and holy name I pray, Amen.

Cumberland, md U S A - Sunday, January 28, 2007 0:14 AM CST

What a courageous and beautiful little girl you are! I read a poem that I'd like to share...

The Big "C"
"The Big C" I heard someone call it.
Another just whispered the word.
That we don't even dare to say "cancer" out loud
Gives it power it doesn't deserve.

So I'm giving that letter a new meaning
And refusing to give in to fear
By reclaiming the power for you and for me
And by saying these words loud & clear:

"Let the "C" be for "Cure" and "Compassion"
Let it stand for the "Candles" we light.
And a "Chourus" of voices shouting "YOU CAN!"
To all who will take up this fight.

Let the "C" be for "Cash Contribution"
("Check or Credit" will work too).
Let it stand for "Commitment" and "Checkups"
And "Cheer,"
And the "Children" are "Counting" on you.

Let it mean that we know our "Creator"
Is beside us each step of the way,
And remind us to "Call" on his strength and his love
And to "Celebrate" every new day.

To everyone facing this "Challenge,"
I say it's a fight WE CAN WIN.
Tell all who will listen, that starting today
The "C" is for "Courage" my friend.

Sweetheart, you are an inspiration! I will follow your progress and keep you,your dad and entire family in my prayers.

Mr. & Mrs Pleasants and Talia, My name is Sharon Shirk, my daughter-in-law is Wendy Shirk. I hear you had a grand time here in Ocean City during Christmas, I am happy you could make the trip and enjoy the lights and visits old and new friends. Wendy has told me much about all of you and I know Gods hand is upon you. As believers in the word of God there is nothing imposible for him. He says by our faith we are healed and greater things shall we do than he. We only need faith the size of a mustard seed to move any mountain. Speak life over Talia, I feel your anger and frustration just don't let the devil in. Do not accept what the Doc's and test tell you the Devil is a liar, rebuke them in the name of Jesus. We must rebuke satan and speak Gods word over our own lives and give God praise for everything even when it is tough. for 1st Peter 2:24 says He himself bore my sins in his body on the tree so that I might die to sin and live for rightousness; by his wounds I am healed. Psalm 118:17 I shall not die but live, and shall declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord. Remember all the miracles he has already done for your family Psalm 31:7 I am overcome with joy because of God's unfailing love, for He has sen my troubles and He cares about the anguish of my soul. give him praise, for 1st corinthians 2:5 says MY Faith does not rest in the Wisdom of men but in the Power of God. I am so sorry for your struggle Psalm 23 Yeah though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death I will fear no evil for thou are with me. Thy rod and thy staff will comfort me. (read the entire Psalm daily for comfort and encouragement)Put the Devil out rebuke every negative word that is spoke over Talia's life and your own. God will do the rest. His Grace is sufficient for thee. I pray God will restore healing, peace and joy to your family in short time, in Jesus name I believe it is so. Amen and Amen God Bless You
I Can't wait to hear how much fun you all had in Disney and how God restored your strength and faith as well.

I found your caringbridge page from a bulletin on myspace. I read your story, and empathize with you. In May of 2005, my best friend was diagnosed with adrenal cortical carsinoma. She lives in Texas, where I'm from, and I live in Virginia, with my husband, who is in the Marine Corps, and my family. I was devistated! If that wasn't bad enough, my 11 month old daughter was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in July 2006. I was devestated, again! She went through 6 months of chemo, but now is in remission!

I will pray for you and your family! If it wasn't for the prayers from family and friends, I don't know how I would have gotten through the past few months. I still have my moments where all I want to do is cry, for her, for my friend, and for all the other children out there that is batteling this disease. The day my daughter was diagnosed, my family grew, you and your family is apart of it now and I will continue to pray for you.

Your family has truly touched my heart and I think of you often. Leda & Jerome you are remarkable parents! As a fellow mommy that spent a little time sleeping on a cot at JHH, I applaud your tenacity w. the docs & nurses. You are on it!

Your positive attitude is remarkable. Have a Merry Christmas and we hope to see you on your next visit to the beach. We will continue our prayers for a healthy 2007 for the Pleasant family.

P.S. I propose that Talia wear that Dancing Princess costume for the rest of the week (it's warm Mom - almost 60 degrees). If I could get away with it I would like to wear an outfit like that to work :-) It is beautiful!!!!

Hi Talia & family,
I read your story after a friend sent an email requesting prayer for you and your family. I am currently taking chemo and have been for four months for Hodgkins lymphoma. I know some of what you all have been going through and I also know that our God is an awesome and big God. He has brought me through alot and has healed me of cancer. The doctors found after the last CT scan that the cancer was gone. So I know God is still in the healing business and that he can touch you and your family. You will be in our prayers. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. May God Bless you all!

Hi Talia and family,
Our experience with radiation was not as bad as others had experienced. Gage had radiation only to the tumor in his brain the first time he had cancer. He had just turned five and was totally horrified the first day we were there and they made the mask. They wanted to put him to sleep but I insisted they not and we showed him the room, the machine, the fact I could talk to him on the intercom and see him with the cameras and when he wanted we played his favorite music or even read to him. It was so much quicker and less of an ordeal this way for him. He lost his hair in 4 spots where the radiation entered and left. He was tired alot for a long time afterward and I hear this alot from adult patients that have went through chemo and radiation. Sometimes he was nausious but we were very good at taking Zofran. Another little guy at the time had it in his lower abdomen region and did not fair as well. He was vommitting alot and had pain so not sure what to tell you. Gage did have headaches and we did give him cold washclothes or whatever would comfort him. As far as how Talia will do, I am not sure because Gage didn't have whole brain nor did he have spinal. On his relapse, they offered a 1% chance of radiation helping...1% was not worth the time away from everyone back home and we honestly couldn't put our sweetheart through anymore. I will keep you all in my prayers and pray that this works for Talia. Gage's radiation Dr. is no longer and University of Colorado so don't really even have a second opinion Dr. to give you. We are hoping and praying for the best for all of you. Great big angel mom hugs.

Hey there PLEASANT FAMILY!
Prayers and best wishes are being sent your way. And I know, as a multi-cancer survivor, that you are on a tough road. PLEASE remember, the Lord will hold you in the palm of His hand as His will is done! And don't forget the footprints in the sand... HE will carry you through many trials and tribulations -- I know. Been there. Done that.

I also strongly believe in collecting prayers from everyone and everywhere. If anyone else is reading this message, please start putting Talia's website as a PS on all the emails you send. When I had my cancer surgery last September, I tracked numerous churches of different religions, acquaintances, friends, and relatives who were all praying for me. I'm sure I had someone praying for me in all 50 states. LET'S DO THAT FOR THE PLEASANT FAMILY!
Prayer IS the best medicine!

Take care. Feel free to contact me anytime 24/7. I'll help you in anyway I can, even if it is just listening as you vent!

Talia, you are one gorgeous cat! It looks like you had a great time Trick or Treating - you'll be eating candy for a long time, I'll bet. Your black cat Halloween socks looked cute - did the bells drive you crazy? I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you today!

Good afternoon to the Pleasant Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your situation. I recently went through a similar situation with my own father. He was diagnosed with Melanoma and wasn't given much hope or encouragement but through Chemo, clinical studies and most importantly, POSITIVE ATTITUDE, my father survived well past what the doctors has projected. Please, don't ever give up hope. They are coming out with new things each and every day. May God bless each and every one of you. I will pray every day to my own wonderful Dad up above to look down upon your family and watch over you.

So glad to hear everything went so well yesterday!! Reading your latest updates brings me back to a few months ago when Talia was first going to be starting chemo. We told you that eventually you would have things down to a routine and know what to expect and when to expect it in terms of the chemo side effects. It sounds like you are there and you guys are just plugging along at a great pace. As a family dealing with cancer, your lives are far from "normal" but we can all see you are making the most of a tough situation, enjoying each and every day and living life to the fullest. Keep it up and continue to stay strong while we continue to hold you in our prayers. You guys are unbelievable.

I also hope that Jerome never has to encounter another ordeal with his cancer. I thank God that there are people out there that care enough to send you wishes, whether they are known to you or not, like myself. I hope all goes well for you all in life and I will be watching the television this evening to see Talia's broadcast. God bless you and keep you all safe...Forever.

Woohoo!!! I'm so excited for you guys. Did you win any money in Vegas??? It's good to hear that Talia is doing well. If you all are feeling up for it this weekend we will be at Morris Meadows. Come up for a day and we can go to the pool or death valley and go watch the lightning bugs by the lake like old times. You gotta pass the tradition on to Talia! Call me or my mom if you want to come and we will give you the site number! I really hope you can come by even for just a few hours. It will be like old times!

What a journey this has been for such a little girl and for you guys too. Sometimes it's hard, well, most times it's hard, sometimes it's harder, you should be reminded what a great mom you are and what a wonderful baby Talia is.

We know how it feels as we have just completed our treatments and are now 3 months in remission at the moment.

Hi Leda,
I have been checking on you guys each day and am so happy Talia is eating and feeling a little better. I hope you don't mind a bit of advice on the hair loss. I suggest you use a scarf or a hat so the hair goes on that and not everywhere. This makes it less tramatic for you and for her.I you want me to I would be happy to mail you some extra caps that you can just throw away as her hair comes out. They are soft and would not be uncomfortable for her. I would also be more than happy to help you out if the mats in her hair get to bad. I have worked with many young children at Children's Hospital in Washington. I would like to help your family in any way possible so if you need me I am happy to donate my services to you and will come to the hospital if you find you need me.Remember the hair loss is temporary and means that the chemo is doing its job.E-mail me or give me a ring if I can help !! Hang in there

So sorry to hear that Talia is having such a tough time with her first chemo. My son is a CPC survivor and had 11 months of very strong chemo. We have to give the nuepogen shots also and I remember how hard that was. If you can get the Dr. to write a script for home health to come and do it, it might be easier. If not, if there is anyone from your church or community who is a nurse who would come give it, that might lessen the stress also. We used all the help we could get and also used a device (can't remember the name of it) to conceal the sryinge and needle and it just popped down without being seen. Home health would probably know about it. We will keep you all in our prayers...stay strong and love her all you can. This is something children should not have to go through.
Prayers,

Hope Talia is doing better and that you all get home soon!! We pray that the chemo is doing what it is intended to do. If so, then the pain and struggle of the last few days is worth it. The first one or two rounds of chemo are the toughest because you don't know what to expect, but by the third round you will have it down to a science and know what to expect from the chemo and Talia and you will be able to do a much better job comforting her and be ready for when the pain does start. We feel for you. We hated the hospitals stays but be strong and try to make the best of it for Talia. Hang in there!! Like we said, if the chemo is doing what it is intended to do, then it's all worth it in the end. Stay focused on the goal of a happy, healthy Talia and don't let the struggles get to you. I know, easier said then done but you can do it! You are in our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong.

Just stopping by to do my daily check on Talia...hoping today is a much better day but knowing if there are mouth sores already...probably a tough one. Some of the chemo's made different foods yuck and hurt Gage's mouth so much. We were lucky to get jello down...whatever color he wanted. It seems like KFC mashed potatoes and gravy, homemade swedish meatballs and pancakes with peanut butter and syrup were our staples for food during that time. I think about eveything you all are going through and can just say I am so sorry, I wish she didn't have to go through any of this. Angel mom hugs to you all...great big tight ones. Hang in there and stay strong and positive!!!!We will be praying for you!

Prayers headed your way! One thing I remember about Spencer having cisplatin at that age was that he would no longer drink milk or eat pudding, dairy products went out the window, older kids told me it tasted like metal... the one thing he loved was pumpkin pie, so I made a pumpkin pie after each round of chemo. We be sending prayers your way that this combo cocktail is the answer for your sweet darlings tumors. Our son had many relapses of his choroid plexus carcinoma beginning when he was two before he gained his wings one year ago yesterday, one week shy of turning six... we'll pray that different results are in store for your little one... it just isn't fair that children have to endure this beast! Take care of yourself and we'll be checking in to see how the rest of chemo goes.

We have no idea what to say to you. You would think that we would have some words of wisdom to give to you with all we have been through lately but we are at a loss right now. All we can do is support you. We were not expecting to hear this news and our hearts ache for you. You have been incredible parents to Talia and we know you will rise to the occassion and continue to stand behind her every step of the way. We all fight this battle with cancer in our own ways and we can't tell you what is the best way for all of you to go about it, but we know you will do your best and find your own way to continue to fight while still living life to its fullest. Take a moment, catch your breath and then make up your mind that there is still a battle to be fought, good times to be had and focus everything on that. Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal. One day at a time. Like we said before, we will be pulling for you every step of the way. If there is ANYTHING we can do for you pleae let us know. If you have questions about chemo, please ask. Stay strong and try to enjoy the 4th despite the circumstances. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi,
My name is Sharon Gilbert I got to your site from Emily's site. I own a wig shop and go to Hopkins often mostly for teens and adults with cancer. I like to check on the kids and families some I have met and some I have not. I am a mother of 3 children 20 ,8 and 3years. I know it is easy for me to say but try to not read to much into anything with the doctors. Go with no news is good news. I think if it was anything you would have heard. They aren't meeeting and checking options before telling you. They would more than likely tell you and then tell you they are going to discuss options the get back. Know and believe that today the tumor is not back Talia is happy and doing well enjoy and go with that so you don't rob yourself of this day and what it will offer. If you get a call today or tomorrow deal with it then. This disease has robbed you and your family of enough. I do know it is easy for my a stranger to give advice, but I too am a worrier and a Mom. I will pray for you everyday whenever I pray and that is often. Try and hang in there !I'll be checking in and praying for good news.

Dear Pleasant Family,
We have also been told "they saw everything they needed to see" and the results have come back fine. I know you are probably flipping out because of what has happened to Trey and rightfully so because it hits so close to home, but stay positive. We believe that Talia's results are going to come back better than you are expecting and that radiation is going to do the trick. We are pulling for you every step of the way in the worse way. If there isn't a miracle in the cards for Trey, than hopefully Talia. Thanks for all the kinds words and the support you have shown. We will definately always keep in touch. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong.

Hi Talia and family,
We had a very similar incident when our son was fitted for his radiation mask. I've also told a lot of people to leave the room many a time. They've said they are there in case there is a problem. I had to tell them that all the people being there was the problem and they need to leave. When the few times they didn't leave, I very forcefully told them to leave now!!! We never had one single bit of good news the first 7 months of treatment and it was awful. We would beg for just one little bit of good news. We hope that your time of bad news will end soon and you will start making progress in your battles ahead.

Dear Leda Jerome and Talia,

My heart bleeds for you. I only imagine how hard this is on you your family and Talia. I do believe that God will answer your prayers. He answers all prayers. I believe that sometimes the answer that you are looking for is not always the answer He gives you. Sometimes you have to look at his answer differently to find its true meaning, but it is always there. Rely on your faith and that answer will become clear to you. He gave you a gift. Talia is that gift. Cherish her and love her and thank God for the time he has given you with her. Whatever the outcome may be He will be with her and with you and with Jerome. I know people wish for miracles and you had a miracle the day Talia was born. Have faith in the answer He gives you. It will carry you for the rest of your life.

I love you
Cindy

Hey Leda. Sounds like things are moving forward. Don't sweat the port procedure (but I know you will--it's a your job). Trey has had one for about a year and the procedure lasted about an hour and he bounced right back once he woke up. Just make sure she gets the kind that goes under her skin so she can swim this summer!! It is going to make it so much easier to sedate Talia now and give her other medications instead of sticking her all the time. Have a GREAT weekend and you all remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Leda,
Just like Michael and Jacob, Trey had two spinal taps. Originally his MRI's showed what they called a "sugar coating" on his spine. However both spinal taps came back negative and the "sugar coating" has cleared up leading the doctors to believe that the disease is not present in his spine. I think spinal taps are pretty run of the mill for CPCer's or any brain and central nervous system cancers. Trey was put to sleep both times and the procedure itself was only maybe 10 minutes long. After he woke he was in no discomfort and he wasn't even aware anything had been done to him. Take care, stay positive and stay strong.

West Chester, PA - Thursday, May 18, 2006 7:37 AM CDT

Like Jacob, Michael has had a couple of spinal taps done. He was not under anasthetic for them. The most difficult thing for him was getting into the tight ball that they wanted. Michael is a big lad and at that time was very ill. However he managed it eventually and didn't seem to feel much pain when the needle went in. Hope it goes well for you.

Pleasant Family,
We continue to pray for your family and that Talia will one day lead a cancer free life.
Jacob has had two spinal tabs. The first spinal tap he had while he was under for an MRI. The tap came back negative, but the MRI showed seeding in the spine. On the MRI it looked like someone had dumped paint in the spinal fluid because there was a white lining all the way down the spine. The Dr. said the tap was negative because the sample is small compared to the volume of fluid in the spine. After finding this out, Mike and I started reviewing Jacob's scans with his Neurosurgeon, so we can see with our own eyes what is really happening, instead of just relying on their word. Jacob's second spinal tap was done in clinic and the Dr. just nummed the area before inserting the needle and the procedure was done in a few minutes. Jacob was his usual self afterwards and he didn't require any pain meds.
Could you please forward me information on the support group you found for rare cancers. It sounds very interesting. mtomasovic@msn.com

Stay Strong & God Bless

She is being treated at Johns Hopkins, 5 days a week. They are able to come home on the weekends. If you're at the hospital sometime, if you can, look them up and check on her.

Talia is an amazing little girl. So glad to hear she is bouncing back from surgery so quickly. Jacob's tumor was only 90% removed during his first surgery because the tumor was wrapped around some major nerves and blood vessels. The chemotherapy did shrink the tumor enough for a total ressection last June. We are praying chemotherpy will do the same for Talia. Continue to stay strong and remember no matter how bad things may seem, God is always with you, giving you courage, strength and endurance to get through these dark days.
God Bless,

Glad to hear Talia is doing so well so soon after the surgery. We have also been down this road as well. Trey had two surgeries and both left tumor in him. I agree that God has yet to give you the Miracle you want so badly for Talia. Keep fighting and know and believe that it will come. Stay strong.

Dear Pleasant family...I was so hoping they could get it all with surgery but glad they didn't damage those important nerves. Awesome that she is thirsty and wanting things, always a good sign. I will be praying for chemo and radiation to do the trick. Hugs to you all.

Hello Pleasant Family. Thank you for contacting us through Trey's guestbook. We will be sure to mention Talia in our next update. It is amazing how close Trey and Talia's cases are. Both have CPC and it sounds like both may have ACC as well has the genetic mutation. Reaching out to other families who have been through this or are going through this is one of the best things you can do. They are such a huge source of information and support. We have been in contact with Easton's family from day one, Gage's family, Spencer's, Little Jacob T.'s, Michael Bunyan's , Bailey's as well as others. But they are the CPC kids and their families are terrific and always available day or night. We are also in contact with families of children who have ACC and the genetic mutation. sometimes you get better info from the parents than from the doctors. We are sending you an e-mail to speak more specifically but know that your entire family will be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

Prayers your way from Missouri... our Spencer also had CPC tumors, like Gage's family, don't know if he had the genetic gene or not, but his tumors kept coming back. He fought hard for nearly four years and had a great life leaving us with many memories... enough of the sad... we'll just keep saying prayers for a clean recovery... there are those cases as well!!!! Take care of yourselves and know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Talia and family....I was stopping by to check on sweet Trey and stumbled upon your entry so here I am. I am so sorry your little one has CPC...it is a very scary road and as I clicked back to check on spelling I saw you have Gage's link so I guess you already know our sad story. I hope and pray that both Talia and Trey do not have the gene problem. I remember Gage's doctor speaking about it but we never really did get a clear answer on if he had it or even if they tested for it. To be honest with you...I don't think I would have wanted to know. I pray surgery goes well and they are able to remove the full tumor. I am not sure if you are familiar with Bailey, Amanda, and Jacob's CPC sites but I can email if you need them...I see you have Easton's and Trey's....Michael B is on sharethelove.org also. We will be watching after Talia and sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. I will add her link to Gage's site for prayers.
