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.

Thanks, friends!



We shared a delicious dinner with my chemo buddies last night. I am so grateful for how good Linda and Karen were to me during my chemo days. We actually had some good fun during our every other Monday lunch dates in C-Bay. I stuck in a picture of Ryan's tattoo. I snapped it first thing this morning. He is wanting to play putt-putt golf today. We are thinking about heading up to Helen and tubing and, of course, a round of putt-putt. We have an appt. tomorrow at Emory to get his radiation set up. Please pray it doesn't worry him. You just never know. Thanks for checking in. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan
