My cousin Nick has been fighting cancer for about four years now. It has been a long and painful struggle. He is 17 and is one strong fighter. It is not easy to watch a close family member be in constant pain at any time in their life, much less years of fighting cancer. Everytime Nick goes through a treatment, the cancer grows back. Now the doctors recomend that the next treatment is in Kansas, and the insurance company is not cooperating with approving the treatment. So my Aunt emailed one of our clients, Dave Lopez with CBS News, and asked to do a report. He called back and wanted to do a report the NEXT DAY!
So when I say to enjoy your health and family, I am talking from personal experience.
Here is Nick's care page. I am not sure if you have to register & sign in to see it.
Here is a post from the care page:
What an exciting day today at the Colombo's. Last night around 12:30 a.m I was answering some e-mails,and it came to my mind that I should contact the news to let them know what we are going through. By mid-morning I received a call and e-mail from Channel 9 news. The were eager to do the interview and they were already in town. I raced home to get Nick up and read. Nick did a great job. We have received calls from the station and the city regarding contributions. We have opened a Wells Fargo Account, Nick Colombo Donation fund. If you would like to make a donation you can go on line or make a deposit at any branch office. Nick's account number is 8046324722.
All afternoon tears kept coming to our eyes. We are taken our position and standing firm and seeing how God will deliver us. (2 Chronicles 20:17) We are standing back and watching him orchestrate every detail.
Continue to pray for Nick. He is having pain in his back area. We are anticipating great things.
Love you all.

I hope your cousin gets the help he needs. I'd love to see fundraisers done for him. Also, I know Oprah is doing a "Big Give". Maybe you can email your blog to their show site?? Just a thought. I just found out about your family and am touched.
My dearest friend,
I am so sorry it has been so difficult. You should know what a wonderful source of strength you have been to Nick. You have a wonderful, kind-heart. I am praying for Nick. Contacting the media was an awesome idea, but then so are you.
With my love and good wishes,
