Was all I could say when I viewed this photo set........A woman in California allowed a photographer to record the misery of her 10 yr old sons battle with cancer.....A sad documentary for sure......but sadness is part of life.....this, arguably has no place in a boating forum..... but I think it might make everyone who views it .....appreciate what they have .....a little more......This photoset won a Pulitzer prize......Be advised this may sadden you...............you have been warned............Struggles with Illness (http://www.pulitzer.org/year/2007/feature-photography/works/index.html)

Hard hitting about sums it up. Having dealt with cancer in my immediate family, it is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. What a brave little fella. I am choked up.

Having lost my mother to cancer, this made me cry uncontrollably. VERY MOVING!

the owner of my company has a 10 year old daughter that was in remission for a year of kidney cancer. They have discovered a new cancer in her lung and is starting kemo all over again with twice the strength. She is a incredible little girl.

That was very very sad. The pictures really captured the emotions well.
