My Niece

[mizarchivist]

My 4 year old niece, the one who'd had some problems with her ears a year or so ago has been diagnosed with cancer. I've known for a few days, but it feels surreal. They are doing the best they can for her, and her parents are looking to take her to the specialist who knows melanoma in children best, but... yeah. Sucks. Nobody, much less a 4 year old, should have to go through this. Anyway- there you have it. I don't remotely know how to deal with something as fucked as this, I don't know what'll happen next, and there's nothing any of us can do, 'cept hope for the best. Assume I'm feeling twitchy about talking about this, assume I don't know much anyway.
