I have a very rare cancer

After I had the surgery I blogged about last month I learned the mass was cancer. I have a very rare form of skin cancer called DERMATOFIBROSARCOMA PROTUBERANS. I have since had a second surgery this month and need a third one called Mohs micrographic surgery next month. This surgery is named for the doctor who created it many years ago. There is a silver lining,however, in that this cancer only metastasizes in 1%-5% of cases. I wanted to share this with all of my readers to get the word about this rare disfiguring cancer. Mine is in my left forearm,which is pain in the bum since I'm left handed.  This is not my first battle with cancer either. I Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1999. I had several operations,biopsies etc. and 6 months of chemo. I will beat this just as I beat that with my lord and savior Jesus Christ by my side.  I will see my oncologist on September 14th and will blog again about this after that. But, rest assured that I will still be blogging missing kids no matter what. These kids are MY kids since I have none of my own.

RIP Jacob Wetterling

On October 22, 1989, just after 9:00 p.m., Jacob Wetterling (11), his younger brother Trevor (10), and a friend Aaron (11), were cycling home from a  convenience store  where they had gone to rent a video, [1]  when a masked gunman came out of a driveway and ordered the boys to throw their bikes into a ditch and lie face down on the ground. He then asked each boy his age. Jacob's brother was told to run toward a nearby wooded area and not look back or else he would be shot. The gunman then demanded to view the faces of the two remaining boys. He picked Jacob, and told his friend to run away and not look back otherwise he would shoot. [2]  This was the last time Jacob was ever seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Wetterling Sources tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the remains of Jacob Wetterling have been found after Danny Heinrich, who authorities had named as a person of interest in his 1989 kidnapping, agreed to cooperate and provide information. The sources say Hein

Boy In The Box Identified As Joseph Augustus Zarelli

"Cropsey" Andre Rand

Only one of Rands multiple suspected victims has ever been found. She was Jennifer Schweiger a 12 year old with downs syndrome that he buried at his campsite in the woods near the mental hospital he was janitor at. He  got 25 years to life for her kidnapping and murder.  Here is a list of other possible victims who's bodies have yet to be found:   Alice Pereia, Holly Ann Hughes, Tiahease Tiawanna Jackson & Henry Gafforio. Audrey Lyn Nergenberg, an eighteen-year-old who disappeared in 1977 is also believed to be linked to Rand. Let's help Staten Island police solve these cases and brings these kids home for their families to bury. He spree of terror lasted from at least 1977 to 1987 when he killed Jennifer. At right is a picture of Jennifer, an innocent young life needlessly lost.  http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5625256/the_legend_of_cropsey.html?cat=37
