I know exactly what you are going through. Two years ago, my 29 year old son told me the same thing. They were able to remove 75% of the tumor and radiation has halted further growth of the remaining cancer for the time being. They gave him 2 to 5 years. Every day is a blessing. He has followed through with his marriage plans and my new daughter-in-law now has my first grandson due in October. We are with him every three months for his MRI results and it is a roller coaster ride. I wish you and your family the very best. Your son is in my prayers. Imagine a cure.
My prayers are with your whole family. Keep a positive outlook. A customer of mine just had a brain tumor removed and now 3 weeks after he's doing fine. Watching a child go through that must be the hardest thing, but hopefully he is young and strong and that can really help with recovery. Best wishes.
My prayers go out to your family as well. stay strong, and know everyone here is there for you and your family...
I feel your pain. I've dealt with cancer both in my family and my wife's. It sounds and is hard to do, but the best medicine is a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE both on your part and your son's. Stay strong, you and your family will pull through this.
I have gone throught he pain of watching a child come close to dying and had to deal with that childs long term problems. They were totally different issues than what you are going through...but I want you to know my heart really goes out to you on this and I am thinking of you and wishing the best for your son. What I went through is of course different than what you are going through, but if I can help you in any way or if you need someone to talk to give me a holler. Nothing hurts more than watching a child go through such things, but be strong and hang tuff. I am praying for you big time.
Were pulling for you and your family, attitude & mental health and positive thinking can go a long way towards helping in a situation like this. Might be worth while to print this thread out and let him know how many folks are sending him positive thoughts and pulling for him!
I know how you feel. My step daughter died this summer. My wife may never recover. I hope the best for you. My mother has a massive brain tumor. It's too late for her, but she has had a great life. I have a freind that had one removed and he's fine now. There are some good doctors out there. Early detection is the key. God speed friend.
The power of prayer is very real.As a parent of a 26 and a 19 year old,I can't imagine how you feel.Your letter struck home with me on several levels,I have recently been reminded of what is important in this life,too.I pray you ,your son,and your family can look back on 2005 as a little stepping stone in your lives,with a speedy and complete recovery ahead.I pray that you can bring your son home to heal soon.Good luck and please keep the HAMB posted......
Amen to that. Time for this girl to stop prayin to the Pontiac God's and start prayin to the other guy on the higher cloud. xxx Brandy
There can't be any worse pain than praying for your child. Our daughter survived an ovarian tumor 15 years ago, but our nephew left us in his early twenties about 10 years ago. We can't imagine the sorrow my sister felt losing her son. Remember that our daughter survived. Our thoughts and prayers are with you tonight.
Done deal. It is happening as I type this. All our thoughts are with you and your family. God bless. Michael
Like all of us,my hopes and prayers go out to you and your family. One of my best friend's daughters-friends with my kids, is going through the same thing. After several surgeries, she seems to be failing. It's horrible for us, and agony for them. It's not supposed to be this way. I really hope your son does great.
I offer my most sincere prayers, may the hand of God guide the hands of the doctors. I've seen Him do amazing things, and I have faith that he will for your son as well. I don't know what the doctors are telling you, but I do know God's word supercedes theirs, and for me, that's a reassurring thought. I'm looking forward to a post that says he came out of this thing just fine.
Best wishes- As possibly the only brain surgeon on the HAMB, fell free to PM if you have any questions that aren't getting answered. dp
I'm praying for y'all. If they could do brain transplants, I'd volunteer some of mine. Lord knows I ain't usin' all of it. Hang in there. I am a cancer survivor (over 10 years now) who was given no chance to beat the odds. I know what it's like and I tell you despair is not an option. Be positive and he'll beat this thing. Before I had cancer, my dad and I were...not so great. For the rest of his life, I never forgot or repaid all he did for me in my hour of need. So, be the great dad you are and know your son is helped by it. Tucker
I will be glad to. Keep the forum informed on condition. I will also keep you and the rest of your family in my prayers.
