Baby Adan transplant survivor and cancer warrior
Donation protected
Hello everyone, we are close knit family. We provide love and support to one another and normally don’t ask for support from others as we know that everyone is fighting their own battles. However in a recent turn of events, I have been inclined to create a Go fund me account to help with financial cost. My cousin and her fathers son Adan, have been working really hard to keep up with the day to day cost of maintaining a home for their son, baby Adan. Any donations will help towards giving them one less thing to worry about. please read below what she recently shared with us…. ”yesterday, was supposed to be our sons last chemo session. With the car packed for the last final round, a poster I made with so much love in tote to mark an amazing accomplishment and to hang in his hospital room, we didn’t get that to happen like we were hoping. With every start of his chemo therapy we go into clinic to have a blood draw to make sure it’s safe enough for him to continue each round. He was accessed through his port, and numbers came in. He was not cleared to continue as his bone marrow still needed to heal. We are fully aware that this “set back”, is more to be expected and the fact that we made it to almost round 6 with this just happening we are lucky. However, what we weren’t expecting was his tumor marker to be on the rise again. we had just got home when we received the test result. To give a small example of the feeling of fear.. it brought me right back to the call of when I was told to bring him in as I saw the high results of the tumor marker the night before we took him in. The feeling of fear is a punch to the gut with every breath knocked out from you, and with every breath you breath it feels like your drowning in the tears that come out with every sob. I want more than anything for this nightmare to be over, and for our son to be healthy and cancer free. We pray for the healing of our son, and for the cancer to be gone. We don’t know what his numbers mean or why they’re rising at this time and neither do his doctors, we don’t have a active plan other than monitoring him each week to see what the numbers will show. We pray it’s not more cancer making way or a sign that he isn’t responding to chemo. We hold all the faith that he will be healed even in fear of the unknown. We are looking forward to the days of no more hospital admissions, daily/ weekly meds. No more Hospital car rides, to the days we have our baby with us in a grocery store, target runs, and to be a carefree baby who gets to have play dates. To the days my map stops suggesting the fastest route it will take me from home to the hospital and for the days we don’t have to pack a hospital bag and wait for scheduling calls. We are looking forward to a “normal” life. Say a extra prayer for our baby. I thank everyone of our family and friends that have helped us through the way.”
