Hope 2024

WRB reply :

The Holidays are approaching and it's a time to be with your family and loved ones, hope you all enjoy your time together.

We are traveling to Houston Texas to MD Anderson cancer center in hope to get my son into a clinical trail to save him.

My son Tom is 37 with stage 4 renal cancer and we exhausted everything availble locally at USC, UCLA, Cedars Siani and Angleles clinc. Tom has gone through a lot with 3 major surgeries in 27 days, 3 stereotactic radiation treatments and state of the art theoropy and standard of care.

All we have is hope and prayers,

Tom

Mike L reply :

Well your son and family certainly have the hope and prayers of mine!
May the trail be successful and may God bless him with a full recovery.

Tom,

I am sorry to hear your son has not seen any improvement. The hardest thing on earth is watching children or grandchildren going through something like this. Keeping your family in our thoughts.

Columbia Craw reply :

Hope is a powerful thing Tom. So is prayer. My oldest son is 45 and survived a brain tumor and my wife ovarian and breast cancers. So I will hope with you and pray for you and your son Tom.

N Florida Mike reply :

One of my sons is 37. Praying for yours.

12poundbass reply :

Our thoughts are with your family Tom.

Boomstick reply :

I was 36 when I got diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer a year ago. The tumor they removed was almost the size of a football and while that's scary enough, that's literally nothing next to what your son has to go through.

Every now and then you hear about people who survive beyond the odds. My aunt survived ovarian cancer 20 years ago when the 5 year survival rate was only 15% and she is still alive and cancer free today. So I can hope for both you and your son that he makes it through this okay.

JS Patterson reply :

Sending hope and prayers your way. I was diagnosed with stage IV lymphoma 2 years ago from yesterday at 31 years old. Life can be tough sometimes, but we can hope for the best.

Tom

Oregon Native reply :

Just got back from Duke yesterday and read this and lifted....gosh so sorry. I can say I "somewhat" understand....today is a gift not to be taken for granted. They took out 56 staples out of my head and we talked to docs for three hours. Said in a nice way to get things in order. I too have stage four Bastoma (short version) and they couldn't get it all but all hope is not lost....We just never know how long we are going to be on the good Lords entertainment committee.....

May your trip be blessed.

WRB reply :

We are returning home without a clinical trail but still holding onto our hope.

It's a catch 22, too weak to be included in a trail and without state of the art treatment will get weaker. We will keep trying.

Thank for your prayers and support.

Tom

Sending good thoughts and prayers for a successful treatment.

We are all behind you and your family during this crisis.

Mike L reply :

When words fail all there is are thoughts and prayers.
It’s one thing when it’s us that’s hurting, but an entirely different level when it’s our child.

I think I can speak for everyone here when I say it’s these times that family and friends are needed the most.
Even friends that we may have never met.

God Bless

Mike
