Thread for Joe. Rusty son

[Rusty]

Awesome. You have plenty to spare lol.

 

[Rusty]

Thanks brother

 

[Rusty]

It’s 4:40 am I still cannot sleep. Probably good though for getting used to night shift

 

[Poppy]

This is YOUR time to shine brother.

I’ve always told my kids and wife…no need to panic unless you see me panicking.

Stand strong for your son and family. They need you as their rock and it will bring them comfort.

 

[Rusty]

Yessir. I didn’t cry in front of them But as soon as I was alone I balled my eyes out. I need to stay strong and sober. Being
Sober will mean more to
Him then anything else

Prayers for you, your son, and family @Rusty

Keeping a clear head 24/7 is exactly what needs to be done.

 

[Rusty]

He is so healthy. He is captain of soccer team always conference champ in wrestling. He runs a 4.7 40 yard dash. He just threw three kids off of a kids who got jumped. Now he has effing brain cancer and he also is pissing blood clots. They don’t know why yet. All his tests came back negative for VD and bacteria. His kidneys have too much calcium. Only one of his kidneys work. And he found all this out just in the last two weeks. So much to deal with. He feels like everything is going wrong. But @Dirtnasty said after he is done with chemo he gonna visit us and do a body mass transfusion.

 

[Poppy]

Don’t try and make sense of the “whys or hows”…sometimes this stuff just happens. I’ve never understood things of this nature either.

The big plus is your son is young and strong and has a better chance than anyone of coming out of this on top.

Stay strong brother

 

[JLee]

@Rusty I am so very sorry. This is horrible news. Please take care and be strong brother. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

 

[Rusty]

@Mossy1985 @Poppy @JLee @Dirtnasty thanks for
Your thoughts and prayers.

 

[herrubermensch]

So very sorry, Rusty, but he’s young and strong and going to pull through.

 

[Rusty]

He better pull through. And thanks brother

 

[Rusty]

Spoke to doctor today. They haven’t seen this kind of tumor in the lab before so they had to send it in to st judes. It’s called. CNS neuro blastoma. Very rare and they rated it at a 4 out of 4. So we very lucky caught it before it got out of hand.

 

[Poppy]

Can your son go to st judes for care? Top notch place.

 

[Rusty]

I wish. Children’s of Wisconsin is pretty top notch also. But st judes is the holy grail for cancer

 

[Poppy]

I’m thinking most children’s hospitals are above and beyond. Almost unlimited funding.

 

[Rusty]

Big blessings for us.

 

[Rusty]

They said it’s really aggressive and they want to do MRI of his spine and also a spinal tap to check make sure no cells in his spinal fluid. Doing mri tomorrow and spinal on Monday.
