Session One: Today I met Miss Hazel. She is a very sweet 13 year old girl. She was just diagnosed with lung cancer and is being very strong for her and her parents.

Whatever she is doing is working and she needs to keep it up.

Session four: I hadnt seen hazel in about a month and right when she walked in I knew something was different. She was smiiling very wide and was the happiest I had ever seen her before. She said that she was doing amazing and that everything was really great as of right now. Her lungs of course, still sucked a being lungs but other than that she was more than happy.
