19-year-old cancer patient has high hopes

Sonya Binns embraces her daughter Francine Dillon, who suffers from thymic carcinoma, a rare form of cancer.

[Dahlia Reid]

19 Year old Francine Dillon lost the battle to this deadly disease on February 17, 2006 but not before she was able to motive others to be strong. Thanks to Dr. Sam Weinstein at the Montefiore Hospital in Bronx, New York for his efforts.

She reached out to all her loved ones and express her love to them in her final moment.

Her hope that more information becomes easily available to others that they will learn of this disease and recognize it at an early stage before it is too late.

You cannot imagine how heartened I am by reading about precious Francine - she must have been an awesome young woman and I share in her family's loss. Having lost my very good friend Yvonne to cancer 3 years ago - I know the journey.
Sweets is right - with Christ in the vessel, you can smile at any storm. You will see her in heaven.

I lost my beloved 17 year old son to cancer,Nov 16.2006 he fought for 5 year before God knew Brett had enough.
I read about your sister fight on another web page.It was hard to read about the lose of our sister but also the fact our family also had to worry about paiding for her treatment in the usa.
Does everyone in Jamica have to travel to usa for treatment?

Sorry about the loss of a young woman. I truely hope she is with Jesus. Because if you are not born of the Spirit you can't make it.She Himself being perfect example.It is also obvious that there is a cancerous curse on this family that can only be broken through the power that is in the name of Jesus. What brings a curse, you people are smart enough. Religion can't save you only Jesus can. I cannot be a hypocrite, I can't be superficial, face the facts, before cancer takes another.The truth will also be the truth even if the moderator choses not to permit this. For the good of all it should be allowed.

[Betty]

That should should have read Jesus Himself being perfect example.thank you

Francine was a very loveable person, her smile alone would bring hope and comfort to those around her. I saw her during her and even though she was in pain you would not see it on her face. Francine was an amazing young woman.

My sister Francine was an angel on Earth. She was kind, loving, humble and she had a 100 watt smile that could brighten any room. Eventhough diagnosed with the cyst of cancer my sister proved that there is hope is your darkest hour and if you have faith you can climb the tallest mountain.

God gave us an angel and he took her back but her acts of kindness and hope remains in the minds of all. She was an unsung hero that fought to the end and reminds us to cherish those closest to us........ I'll forever miss her!
