Bremerton Sun

Paula Thompson, 12, found out she had cancer in Jan. 1981. In October she found out about five more tumors in her lungs. The doctors told her parents if they had any trips planned to take them soon because she didn't have much time. In Nov. Paula and her family were treated to a trip to Disneyland made possible by donations from people in their county.
