About Me

Name:
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.

Hanging In There

Not much has changed. His fever goes away for a day or so and then comes back. His tummy hurts a lot. The doctors think it is cramps in his intestinal tract. He started his Neupogen yesterday, which is to boost growth of blood cells. His white blood count was .14 yesterday and is .11 today, so maybe this is the beginning of engraftment. Cross your fingers. He has been on a combination of meds for nausea that makes him very irritable. It keeps life interesting.:) Tonight is the Spaghetti Supper. Ryan and I both wish we could be there to see all our friends. We miss everybody so much. Thanks to FORM and to everyone who bought a ticket. Love, Missy
