About Me
- Name: Ryan
- 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.

What a good patient!
We waited patiently for a phone call on Ryan's last two scans but no word :( As usual, Ryan did a fantastic job with the 45 min. scan. He was as still as he could be! He is so amazing how he can put up with everything and make everyone smile. You can see that he, Dad, and Laura (our MIBG guru) all planned to wear their hockey jerseys. We should absolutely hear by tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed. Les, Missy, Heidi, Will and SuperRyan
