it was just a little LIKE...one of many little comment updates from those Facebook friends and relatives whose pages i'd put a comments on
i didn't say that much...at times like this one often finds themselves choking on their words...i was glad it was print material and my tears wouldn't stain the page
i met Brianna in 2005 when i was taking care of her Grandmum...she was my weekend relief doing on the weekends in Imperial Beach what i was doing for Mavis during the week in La Costa
she was in college at the time...but graciously gave up part of her every weekend to do for Grams....a beautiful vibrant smiling girl just coming fully into her own
a California blonde who loved the beach town she was raised in...adore the sun and it went perfectly with her sunny personality
i was shocked to find out a few months ago that she had been diagnosed with a Melanoma in one of her thighs...because her lymph glands on that side were already involved an amputation to halt the spread was not possible
and so she started that round of chemotherapy and all the other Cancer treatment that is mandatory in that kind of case
it was tough but Brianna is a strong minded girl and has a family and friends who had no problem rallying around to give her the support she needed...
i can't say she sailed thru it...but who does sail thru that kind of treatment...it's seven kinds of hell...
everyone held their collective breath
then breathed a sigh of relief when all seemed well...she'd dodged the bullet it seemed
but that was not to be
just recently another Melanoma was found in Brianna's other thigh....so it's back to the drawing board...actually...her hair hadn't grown back in from the the last treatment and now she's in her second round of the battle to save her life
her little LIKE response to my wishful comment that i hoped she was bearing up with her usual grace and style means a lot to me
her dad and mum and all her family and friends will keep smiling and willingly hold their breath again 'til this chilling medical tale hopefully has a happy ending

Brianna put this video up during her first round of treatments to educate young people about the dangers of over exposure to the sun
she is 26 years old and the daughter of Brian Bilbray a national congressman from San Diego and my niece Carrie's niece thru marriage
