My heart and my prayers go out to Ron, his daughter Diamond, and the entire rest of the family. What a frightening thing to deal with. My prayers that the chemo works, and Diamond has a complete recovery.

Wow that's horrible. I hope she ends up fine and recovers. I never wish anything like that on anyone and for a kid to end up with that is just horrible. Hope she recovers and they can get rid of the tumor.

Wow...my thoughts will be with Diamond and you're entire family, Ron. She will beat this, she is strong, just like her dad.

The 5 year survival rate for that particular cancer is extremely high, around 90%, so hopefully she'll be good as new in no time.

Ditto. We have a 4 year old ourselves (almost 5) - I can't imagine going through that. good luck, and God bless the Artest family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Ron and his family. My grand-daughter is close to that age. I, too, cannot even begin to imagine how it would feel to have to deal with something like that.

At least it sounds like they've got excellent medical care working to help her get better.

My thoughts and prayers are with little Diamond and her family. I hope for a complete remission for her.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Artest family. I know that little Diamond is a warrior like her daddy and she'll fight this battle with cancer.
