Update on Tomasa Chicoj and Julisa Lux

Here are some updated photos of Tomasa and Julisa, the 2 young cancer patients that we have been working with for some time now.

Tomasa came to us about 2 years ago with a recurrent retinoblastoma tumor. She underwent treatment of radiation and chemotherpay until August of 2007. Latest reports indicate she is doing extremely well. We have not received any prognosis but she appears to be doing great and has started to attend school and only comes for visits every few months.
