So if you’re a nine year-old girl, you know what sucks? Having a THIRD type of cancer.

A 9-year-old Portage girl who has had cancer for more than half her life just found out she has a third type of cancer.

Emily Miller was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia in 2002, overcame it in 2005 and was in remission until April of last year when she was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma.

She was excited to finish chemotherapy this August.

But after recent routine labs, doctors told the family that Emily has acute myeloid leukemia. It’s a cancer that starts inside bone marrow and develops quickly.

Her father Cory Miller says Emily told him she didn’t want to die. She says she has about 10 fights left in her.

This girl collects cancer like other little girls collect Barbies. Only instead of a well-endowed plastic blond, she gets to lose hair and weight. Hopefully she doesn’t look up to Miley Cyrus; it’d be kind of hard to flash with only one breast.

You know who’s the real victim here? Me. Because it’s hard to write about a little girl with cancer whom I feel bad about without feeling like an utter douchebag. So uh, yeah. Wear a yellow ribbon for my comedy.
