Live Stoner Chat My Son was just Diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma

[A4]

Hey Slow, man I am reading this and thinking what can I do. I am on the other side of a pc monitor but I am going to make something happen. I promise that one brother. Let me throw a few things on the wall and see what sticks.

My prayers are with your family man. I have four girls and two boys and I can't begin to imagine what I would do. Stay strong, I know it is easy for me to say it and you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders but that is what we are! We are dads, we overcome and find a way to make shit happen. Through good and bad.

Mate I feel terrible for you, there is nothing I can say except keep going; be strong nd be the person you can!

If he can drink it, raspberry leaf tea and ginger tea enabled my wife to stop vomiting long enough to eat again, thank god.

All the karma I can send is yours and Ill pray to anything that will listen to help you out!

I have been thru 3 family members extreme health crisis back to back starting about 5 years ago and I found that herb intensified my fears and distress re. my loved 1s health so much that I couldn't use at all. Bottom line, I wanted to be as clear minded as possible in order to be the best caregiver possible. Also, feeling unaltered pain, love or whatever was important to me - it often seemed too much to handle but I survived and more importantly I was able to give the best love and support under the circumstances.

Our hearts and prayers are with you and I hope that someday you can look back on this experience with gratitude and that you now treasure every moment you have with your loved 1s - life is way too fkn short.

Be Well, P77

Thank you guys. yeah it's fucking scary.
It's like I've always tried to prepare for the worst case scenerios with my kids, as in house fires, car wrecks, drowning, car wrecks in river/lake, hiking around cliffs, hiking with snakebites...and the list goes on and on and on....I hate it, but I've ALWAYS thought about horrible situations and try to go through them and mental prepare myself if any of them ever happen.............
Well this was never one of them....this is something I can't do anything about.....and it FUCKING SUCKS!

Oh yeah did I mention I found out a few things about a week ago.
1. My son's cancer is in Stage 4 - Stage 4 is the last stage and is when cancer has spread.

2. There have only been 4 cases of Ewings seen at the hospital.

3. The lungs are normally the first place the cancer spreads too if/when it does, then from there it spreads to other organs/bones if or when it does.

4. We initially thought there was just a little spread to his lungs.......last week I found out they are heavily infected.

5. The cancer takes lives 2 ways:

(a). Gets big enough and uses all resourses to where it starves the body.
(b). Takes up precious real estate in or around vital organs.

6. If the chemo doesn't work and it keeps spreading or growing......The cancer will take him from us within a year.

FAITH s2g, That news does suck but your wife and you gotta believe and stay strong, do as much as you can for your innocent young boy. I know you feel helpless and we all here at afn understand you, but you cant blame yourselves Knowing That you tried all possible within your reach dude. Dont be afraid, easy to say, but your boy gotta be strong just Like his dad.

I cried twice today and it let out my angst and i felt better and stronger, yup men are allowed too just not in public !

After 6 year service I lost my job 1 year ago for supposably being 1 minute late whilst wife pregnant of second boy from then i lost my house, battling to keep car and wife and gained debts, I gambled my last cash with my grow (reason of joining afn). My 2 boys, wife and i have moved 4 Times already this year and this morning my depressive mother inlaw asked me to leave her place (damm alcohol) but Thats my story (we all have one) and i will battle to make my boys happy and healthy.

Then i cried tonight when i read your update and all other afn members posts on your thread. Dont be ashamed, dont blame yourselves and your not alone in this fight bro. All our love to s2g junior.

Peace and love

Well we go in tomorrow for his next treatment. Here's hoping it doesn't go as bad as his last one.
Actually depending on his blood count depends on if he'll start the next treatment tomorrow. He was supposed to start last friday, but his platelet count has to be in normal range, about 750, his platelet count was only 30.
Not sure if it had to do with blood transfusion he recieved a few days before.

Anyways...hoping it goes a bit smoother this next time.

Thank you for the update slow. Hear is something that you might want to ask your Dr about. here is a link:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...tment-using-HIV-virus-wire-immune-system.html

let me explain a little. I am HIV positive and have been for 14 years, during that time i have been going to the hospital and donating my blood weekly for the research talked about in the above link. There is a mutation that is in my blood that they are using to reprogram T-Cells to attack and kill some cancers. Now that i see it hit the news i think the gag order about the research is out the window and i pray to any, and all gods that it is something that will help your son.
Be well and strong brother
Love from the Monkey
