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.

Got a Good Report

Dr. Haight was very impressed with Ryan today and even gave us the go-ahead to eat apples and oranges as long as we can wash them with soap. He ate one of each as soon as we got home. Don't you know they were delish! He goes back for another check-up on Monday and will be re-admitted on Wednesday the 5th for the next transplant. We are getting so close to the end of his treatment, we can almost taste it. Please keep praying for his cure. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan :)
