Camcampup,

My daughter Amy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor at the age of 16. 75% of the tumor was removed via surgery. The other 25% was treated with chemotherapy and radiation. Her once beautiful long curly locks fell out by the clumps.

What grew in was baby fine hair. It never fully grew back so she wears wigs. You would NEVER know it. Once we were at a stop light and an older gentleman in the car next to us kept staring at her. She said she was SO tempted to pull her wig off and shock the pants off him. I dared her to and she did! (I just wanted to make you laugh)

Kids can be VERY cruel. It's a combination of their ignorance and their own mortality flashing before them. When Amy was out of school for a year recovering, her friends literally abandoned her. Her strong will and determination got her thought it.

All you can do is be there for Delano. Maybe by setting a strong example, the jerky kids might get the idea.

I'm sorry this upsets you. But believe me, I understand. Hang in there!!!
