My son has t-cell ALL, we are 73 weeks into a 108 protocol including high dose chemotherapy and cranial radiation. <BR/>Last year he developed shingles and a few weeks later had a stroke, but we are plodding on, desperate to get to the end of treatment and to start putting time between us and diagnosis. I hope that one day I too will be able to write a post like yours.<BR/><BR/>Good on you Pooper. You are my little hero, you give me HOPE and I am so glad beat it. :)<BR/><BR/>http://skittlesupdate.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351047022817723850.post-6832677165384615962008-08-07T18:03:00.000-07:002008-08-07T18:03:00.000-07:00Oh my gosh, you should have warned me that I neede...Oh my gosh, you should have warned me that I needed kleenex for this one.

I don't know him, but a good friend of mine does as her son and the boy are good friends. They went to see him at the hospital and said the mother seemed like she was in a fog. It's so wonderful that Pooper is able to do all that he can.The Traveling Yogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13006993240317444809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351047022817723850.post-44838561311943269122008-08-07T05:36:00.000-07:002008-08-07T05:36:00.000-07:00Kim,I have been a lurker for...gulp...well over 2 ...Kim,<BR/>I have been a lurker for...gulp...well over 2 years. I started reading Poopers blog when I stumbled upon it from another caringbridge site. My very dear friends lost their 8 year old son 2 years ago this October to the beast called Cancer. I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed your post, your openness, and your honesty. I am so glad that Pooper was able to pull through and come out on the other side. <BR/>If there is one thing that Caleb ( my friends son) taught me it was to love my children every day as if it were their last. To Cherish and make new memories and that some times it is not as bad as it seems.<BR/>As I sit here with my sick 12 month old (just a double ear infection) on my beginning to show pregnant lap, I cried for Pooper, for Caleb, and for all the wonderful kids who have had to deal with something so difficult at such a young age.<BR/>I commend you the mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers as well because it puts a stress on the family and the life that will never be the same.<BR/>Thank you for this post and I promise not be a lurker forever!!!<BR/>MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351047022817723850.post-5564211277769651312008-08-06T22:55:00.000-07:002008-08-06T22:55:00.000-07:00Kim Thank you for sharing Poopers story.

It's wonderful to hear how you salvaged good things from your cancer journey, like making time for who and what is truly important. What a good lesson for all of us.<BR/><BR/>Karen B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351047022817723850.post-62566479561096473932008-08-06T13:27:00.000-07:002008-08-06T13:27:00.000-07:00Hey Pooper, I remember that day five years ago so ...Hey Pooper, I remember that day five years ago so well. <BR/><BR/>The one memory that stands out in my mind from that first day in the hospital, was when Mommy and Daddy left the room to talk to the Doctor and you said, "lets go to your house Mum..let's go now". <BR/><BR/>I'm sure there were moments when your mommy and daddy wished they could just take you and run away from cancer. Far away.<BR/><BR/>Thank God for answered prayers. May he continue to protect you from the harsh long term side effects. You have come so far and now you are going to swim in the Championship Meet!<BR/><BR/>Now please excuse me, I have to go refill my glass with more lemonade!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036374022323687122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351047022817723850.post-86150603295144804042008-08-06T13:14:00.000-07:002008-08-06T13:14:00.000-07:00Wow.
