A little girl in Ohio is being given a trip to Disney by the Make A Wish Foundation. Her mother and grandmother would go with her except her father doesn't want her to go. He thinks that since she is now on once a month doctor visits and through treatment for leukemia the Make A Wish Foundation should save the money and use it for a terminally ill child and he will pay to take his daughter to Disney later when she is older and will remember it.
Please, let's not argue over this. He does not understand that even though his daughter is technically considered 'cured' and can expect a relatively normal life, she will never be normal in the sense that she will live the life of someone with a cancer diagnosis behind them. The constant worries of will it come back, will there be life long side effects from treatments, and never receiving normal medical care - always on that special list of 'because you had cancer, we need to be sure...'.
The trip to Disney isn't just for her, its for her caregivers - mother and grandmother - as well. Its a opportunity to resume some sense of normalcy in their lives with a family vacation.
The Make a Wish Foundation does not discriminate between children who have or had a life threatening disease. Its not just for terminally ill patients so they support the trip.
Lets not argue about this and let them go on their trip.

Hello, my name is Ari, I am a survivor (so far...) of two cancers, a widower of a cancer victim (now re-married..) and is dedicated to fighting cancer, and helping others do so.
I lived in Toronto, Canada (my family is in southern California), and last year, after marriage, I moved to the Philippines. I am majority owner of a Dialysis clinic, and built a unique cancer clinic, the one I dreamt of having when my first wife was struggling. I took her to Mexico clinics twice, for treatments (which were very successful!), talked to dozens of physicians, and always found lack of properly equipped clinics, which could do a lot better if they were.
Along the way, I have gained insight of how proper Hyperthermia should be applied. This is a method which doubles the success rate of conventional therapies, and alternative ones as well, provided it is done properly. I have purchased the most powerful device for this, and added two other types of devices, which when applied in the right order, prevent a process of DE-sensitizing of cancer cells to the effects of specific frequency hyperthermia. We also do mild whole body hyperthermia in order to strengthen the immune system (with no side effects),and help reach the right thermo-therapeutic levels within the tumour.(the right temperature simply destroys the tumour...). There are also other aspects to this, biological ones, which for lack of commercial incentive (UN-patentable..) is not pursued by multinational pharmaceutical corporations which control all medical research in the field.
I also introduced other forms of immunotherapy, and alternative cytotoxic elements, such as Helixor, a mistletoe extract, which has three times better success rate then most chemo agents, without the side effects.
I can give information about many clinics I learned about, (mainly in Mexico ang Germany)
