12 YR old with colon cancer

Postby Nickmark59 » Fri Aug 01, 2014 4:25 pm

Was talking to one of the guys I work with at customer and have not seen him for few months and asked how his family was doing and his 12 yr old son who has had a history of brain tumors one of which is inoperable and he receives chemo for has now spread to optic nerve he will probably loose his sight. But the real shocker is he has tumors all thru his colon and couple removed already show signs of cancer. he has been DX with Lynch Syndrome and he will end up with a colectomy. I know what i went thru at age 47 I can not imagine a young child going thru this please keep him in your prayers.

This makes me furious! No child should have to endure any of this. Why couldn't his cancer have struck a serial killer or a pedophile? And don't tell me "there's a reason for everything" or I'll be forced to slap you silly. There is NO REASON this little man should suffer. I hope his parents find the strength to get him (and themselves) through this nightmare. Swinging & flinging chickens like crazy here in Washington state, Delinda
