On the Discovery Science channel I saw that it has been proven that cancer cells stop growing when treated with "disco-dermalide"..a chemical compound of deep sea sponges. It is a new medical discovery. Researchers are looking for cures for various diseases from organisms in the oceans. 99% of all living space for organisms and plants are in the oceans. Every life form in our vast seas has the possibility of becoming a miracle cure for diseases. I sent this info to my niece and nephew. ~ Lily

Thanks to all of you. At the present all that I know is that tests are being run to determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of her body. Also, the biopsy results are not in yet. I will update when I get any news. ~ Lily

LadyLily:

I'm very sorry to hear this unfortunate situation with your niece. We ask ourselves, why do such things happen to the ones we love and care for, we can only pray to God that somehow a miraculous cure will restore the health and vitality to those we love. I pray that God will look upon your niece and give her the inner strength to endure. I will pray for her and hope that she receives a possible treatment that will restore her health and allow her to live a bountiful life for her children. May God Bless Her For A Speedy Recovery And Restored Health. ~ Roberto

I would appreciate it if all of you would say a prayer for my niece. I just found out tonight that she has a cancerous tumor in her head...it is inoperable. Surgery would paralyze her left side. Biopsy results within the next few days will determine the type of cancer and possible treatment. She and my nephew have two little girls. Thanks! ~ Lily
