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.

Say it with us, "Go up, counts"
Doesn't he look like he's having a blast? He was laughing at Will. We had a great time in the pool this afternoon. Please say prayers for Ryan. Please pray that 1) his counts will be up 2) we are able to stay on this path to get the antibodies in NY and 3) he tolerates the Accutane. His lips are already drying out, and he has been a little irritable. Maybe that is just the cold. Thanks for checking in on us and thanks for your prayers for Ryan. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan
