Kyla Miller: Results promising

Glyconutritionals, Glyconutrients: Nine-year-old Kyla Miller watches at her front door as her limo pulls up to her house to take her to her "celebration of life" party. A small cross dangles from a silver chain around Kyla Miller's neck. The cross is purple - her favorite color. Kyla runs the symbol of faith between her thumb and forefinger, then looks up and smiles. The necklace was a congratulatory gift from her parents Feb. 14, her last day of radiation treatment.She wore it only on special occasions. But since finding out her cancer has progressed, Kyla wears the cross constantly. She knows this Christmas may be her last.

She's not afraid to die. On the outside, Kyla looks like a healthy 9-year-old girl. Except for a small fuzzy patch of hair that had to be shaved for surgery, her brown locks are swept back in a ponytail, which sways back and forth as she bounces from room to room.
