Ry's BEATING Stg.4 Burkett Lymphoma
Donation protected
Hi. This is my son Ryan, he just turned 7 on July 10, 2016. He loves video games, soccer, football and being a boy. On March 9, 2016 Ryan was diagnosed with Stage 4 Burkett Lymphoma. Burkett Lymphoma had spread from his lymph nodes, to his gut, pancreas, kidneys and bone marrow (80% contaminated). However, we were blessed that the spinal fluid was negative.
It is not clear how people develop it … one cannot catch it, inherit it or pass it on to others.
Burkett Lymphoma is extremely rapid in growth and can double in size in 25 hours. When I was advised he had Stage 4, I had to ask. "How long has he had this"? The Doctor responded, "2 weeks".
Ryan's world was turned upside down with a blink of an eye. I have not left his side the entire time. He needs to have one stable thing in his life, "Mommy". Ryan has shown such strength and hope. He is one tough boy.
We were give amazing news on July 14, 2016. After several tests, Ryan is not showing Burkett Lymphoma in his kidneys, lymph nodes, pancreas, gut or bone marrow.
No one ever said that we could actually beat this in 4 months. Oh, no we are not done. We still have several more chemo sessions for durations of 3-5 days at a time. If we do not continue with Chemo there is a 90% chance it will return. I thought this was going to get easier since the Cancer was gone. I was really hoping to go back to work and Ryan would start to feel better for more than a week a month. But, it's been more difficult on Ryan. His body is tired, fragile and very thin. He is getting sick during Chemo now and its take him longer to recover between sessions.
I am still trying hard to make it and take care of my son. I have tried many of times to work but I can not work with Ryan at my office. I am personally asking for your help with finances/bills. I . will need to continue to be with my son and will work when he has his good days or week.I just can not be away from my son when he is sick. I have worked approximately 25 hours since March 3. My job has been very understanding and has really worked with me so, for that I am grateful.
Any thing that you donated is truly appreciated. This will alow me to be with my son. For the donations that have already been recieved you are the reason I had one less thing to worry about. This alowed me to care for and be with Ryan. God has placed everything the way it is suppose to be. I don't ask why. I have reached out to God and he has blessed me with all of you who will donate, share Ryan's story, pray for Ryan, and send good/possitive thoughts.
Thank you.
