Cancer Sucks

I think we can all agree.  Cancer sucks. Today I am trying to process this new foreign diagnosis for Brandon.  I have to admit this is a hard one.  Brandon received the results back from his cat scan with contrast from MD Anderson.  It appears that the cancer has spread to the abdominal wall and into the stomach.  We don't have a treatment plan yet.  Brandon's doctor at MD Anderson (Dr. Merrick Ross) is recommending a consult with a second surgeon.  They have asked us to come back to MD Anderson for a consult.  The normal treatment for this type of cancer is surgically removing the cancer.  We will want to weigh any quality of life concerns with the surgery options and hope we can come up with a good treatment plan.

A little light on the results is that the cancer has not spread to other areas.  However, we wont know if it has spread to any lymph nodes until there is biopsy or if/when he has surgery.  

This is not going to be a long blog today because I really don't have anything else I can say.  Except Cancer Sucks.  Thank you everyone for your outreach and support.  It means a lot to us.

Hug your loved ones when you can and all you can.

This is still so hard to wrap my head around the thought that one of our kids has cancer. I feel like I’m going to wake up from a bad dream. Unfortunately, cancer doesn’t discriminate. I know this just hits hard at a time when our kids have reached a point of becoming more independent. I pray that Brandon beats this!

I want to share this great testimony to the world on how Dr VOODOO cure me from HSV1&2 with his herbs, I was nervous when i first contact him about the cure for HSV but i decided to give him a try because i was desperate to get cured and be free from HSV. Dr VOODOO prepared the remedy and sent it to me through UPS,which I use just the way Dr VOODOO instructed me and thank God today I am a beneficiary to this cure and I went back to the hospital after 7 days of taking the herbs and I tested HSV1&2 Negative. So I will tell you all who are looking for a cure to his/her HSV1&2 that Dr VOODOO took research before he could finally get the solution to it and a lot of people are benefiting from him right now. He also cured my friend from HPV. Dr VOODOO heals with natural herbs. Please I urge you to contact him now through his email address: voodoospelltemple66@gmail.com or call and WhatsApp him on +2348140120719. He is capable of curing HIV/AIDS, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, CANCER of all kinds, DIABETES and so many other infections.
