My Name Is Wayne
I'm 15 years old. I like to ride atvs bikes swimming and hang with my friends and my sister and my brother. I had Osteosarcoma its a type of bone cancer, Im through with treatment!!
My sister talks on the phone too much and on msn. My oldest sister is married and has A one year old son and has a new little baby girl. My youngest sister sunny plays the flute in the school band she is very good.
On June 13 2005 I had limb salvage surgery on my left leg, its kind of like a knee replace ment just more extinsive. I had 110 staples in my left leg. The surgery took 8 hours because the tumor was wrapped around my artery in my left leg so they had to go in my right leg and take a big vain from it and put it in my left leg.They had to give me 8 units of blood which is about half of the blood in your body.
I took chemo therapy for 8 months all my hair fell out but thats no big deal for me like it would've been for a girl who really likes their hair.
The cancer spread to my lungs to keep from being killed by the chemo.
I've had two lung surgeries this year they think they got it all so thats good.
Every 3 months I go to Childern health care of Atlanta at Egleston it's the 3rd best children's hospital in America. I go to camp sunshine which is a camp some where between Atlanta and Athens. Its a camp for kids who've had a life threating disease. Its very fun there I went this past summer.
There's a foundation called Make a Wish If you've had cancer you get to do something or get something that you want. I wanted to take me and my family to San francisco. There I meet the mayor and rode a helicopter around the bay, and flew over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Me and my Dad also went in side the tower closest to the city on the Golden Gate Bridge here we went up a elevator and then climbed a ladder to the top of the tower! You could see everything up there it was really windy up there too.
Then we went home.

MEMORY
We do not need a certain day
to bring you to our minds,
The days we do not think of you
are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartaches
as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
and secret tears still flow.
What it means to lose you
no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
in death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory
of the days when you were here,
If tears would make a staircase,
and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
and there you will remain.
To walk with us throughout our lives
until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again..
