OT Sign a petition to help a 12 year old girl in NH with a brain tumor

We are the family of McKenzie -- a vibrant, giving, and sweet 12-year-old girl who was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), an inoperable brain tumor, on November 28, 2012. The median overall survival of children diagnosed with DIPG is approximately 9 months, making it one of the most devastating pediatric malignancies. But McKenzie still has hope in the form of Antineoplastons therapy – a treatment that could save her life if the FDA grants her compassionate use.

Signed it a few days ago and shared on facebook. People should be able to freely choose what type of medicines/procedures they feel is best, regardless of what the "gov't" says.

 

[Krugman]

Absolutely! Best of luck to Mackenzie!

Signed/bump.

Our prayers are with Mackenzie.

Feel so sorry for that girl and what her parents and family must be going thru.

Signed the petition praying that everything goes well.

This thread isn't the place for a discussion, so I won't discuss it past this post, but I think people signing this petition should at least know about this:

Doctor accused of selling false hope to families

My heart goes out to the girl and her family though. I'd just hate to see them taken advantage of.

I saw the story on the local news and don't know all the details but if signing this helps in any way (even just a sign of support) I'm for it.
