Miracle girl Megan is cancer free after U.S. treatment

I am very happy that an anonymous donor stepped up to save this precious little Irish child's life to the tune of a $1 million or so. May God eternally bless the both of them. Yet, I am also angered that some months ago we had to raise money thru Beef 'n Beers to foot the bill for my American neighbor, who lost his private (no pre-existing conditions, Irish or Otherwise Need Apply) private health "insurance" ! Over 50 million Americans lack health insurance, with over 26% of those 18 to 64 without it. Yet, the entitelement right wing nuts decry any universal healthcare resonable solution as "socialism" and an "assault on liberty" as they celebrate their "I've got mine; go get yours" demented individualism. Theyy constantly tout how we have the best medical care in the world (we don't; look up the statistics for infant mortality rates, etc). Our freedom gets us the only nation in the industrialized world without a rational universal system. Sorry, that's not entirely true, if you consider Iran and Saudi Arabia, etc. Yet, these same hypocrites will be early to Mass and communion each and every Sunday, with their flag lapels firmly in jacket. What would Jesus do where the rest of us don't have any anonymous donors in the bull pen ?

Thankyou Jesus...please watch over her.

I am really happy for this brave and sweet-looking little girl that she was able to get treatment here and what looks like a cure. But my question is: Why did the doctors in Ireland give her such a grim diagnosis and why do they not have the sophisticated means to treat her and others in their hospitals? Are they that lacking? What a scary thought for my relatives living there. A few years ago my cousin was misdiagnosed at the main hospital in Cork. Luckily, he was able to go to London, get diagnosed properly and get treatment. But what about so many others who either do not have the means to do so or take their doctor's diagnosis at face value?

What a wonderful story, thank you America!

There still needs to be prayers for this little girl. She is not cured but in remission. And as withj any remission, the cancer can return. Rule of thumb, you have to be cancer free for 5 years to be considered cured.

This is great news! I pray that that Megan will be cancer-free 5 yrs. from now and will forever be cancer-free. Best wishes to Megan and her family.

What a courageous and brave spirited little girl! She's an inspiration! I'm happy for this family, and for the anonymous donor who gave Megan Malone a chance.

Fabulous news for the family. I hope their future is just a bright as the girls beaming smile.
