About Me

Location: Athens, Ga, United States

Our son Ryan was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma in 2004. In 2007, my wife Missy was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. On July 8th, 2009, Missy lost her battle to this horrible disease. 2 days later, on July 10th, Ryan also lost his. Together forever, they both watch over our family now from the heavens above. Below is our families journey through Ryan's treatments, along with the joy and laughter we tried to instill into our daily lives. Those days helped us all cope with the pain and suffering that comes with cancer and it's deadly treatments. Both Missy and Ryan endured high doses of chemo, radiation and surgeries. Over 150 nights spent in the hospital and many, many more days. More transfusions than I could count. Yet both Missy and Ryan took on each day with a positive attitude and warm smile for all their friends. We miss them terribly. They will always be a shining light in our lives.

2 Weeks and Counting

Ryan's admission for his transplant is set for Nov. 22. Even though we will be there for Thanksgiving, we are really hoping he will be home for Christmas in between transplants. He had another pre-admit eval. today at Egleston. Everything looks good and ready. We got to tour some of the rooms and saw a few familiar faces from Scottish Rite. We are learning a little of what to expect when we get to the transplant unit. Visitors will be severely limited and no flowers, fruit, or stuffed animals. Your calls, e-mails, and prayers will be more than welcomed, though!!! Thanks so much for your well wishes and support, Les and Missy

Hello, you don't even know us-but a member of our Sunday school class in Athens, GA told us about Ryan a few months ago. Even thought I don't know you, I do have a 5 yr old son- so your struggles seem very personal. I just want you to know that we are praying and have rejoiced with each piece of good news. Ryan-you are being lifted up to God's throne even by people who have never met you :) Tiffany Haymore
