Default Toddler cancer spotted via e-mail
An internet chat led to early diagnosis of cancer....

A toddler in Florida has been diagnosed with cancer after a Manchester, UK woman saw early warning signs in a picture.

Madeleine Robb, from Stretford, who has never met her pen pal, spotted a shadow behind one of Rowan Santos's eyes on pictures from her first birthday. She then e-mailed her mother advising her to get medical help.

That story brought tears to my eyes, the baby is so beautiful.

I hope, God willing, that she lives a long and happy life.

yes i read this article the other day and i am just amazed! i think the child's mother also deserves a lot of credit. many parents get very defensive when it comes to their kids, but she took the advice and saved her child's life.
