Good shooting with your son. I hope he fully recovers. Prayers sent.

Brother, my heart thoughts and prayers to your son and family. May God almighty bless your son with his healing grace!
They started that new protocol about a year ago, getting some outstanding results. Tomas was on the old COG 0331 protocol. I wont go into the technical questions about treatment. You still have about 2 yrs, 2-4 months before he completes the treatment. Tomas also had a port inserted after his broviac sprung an internal leak at the 14 month mark.
I discovered that shooting was great therapy for Tomas while in treatment, the port prevented him from participating in contact sports.
Keep in mind, when he gets the vincristine, his ears a super sensitive, also the methotrexate makes him sensitive to the sun. Key thing about the treatment is that you keep the family together as you are doing.
He will finish treatment, there will be alot of ups and downs between then and now. The hair grows back, the steroid bloating will go away.

What is your son's first name? Tomas will add him to his childhood cancer prayer list.

Unreal. You guys are out of sight!
Odd to me, you post on gun board about your sick son and just look at the kind and heartfelt responses you get. We are supposed to be a collective group of gun-nuts, accent on the nuts. How wrong those that despise us are. Good folks are where you find them and I have always found them in gun owners. God Bless You All!
For the gentleman who asked, my son's name is Andrew Gibson. Take care of your son
My wife has always commented that she feels much more accepted around my shooter friends than in any other group.
That says a lot.
Gibson, my son and and I botth send you strength and prayers. Sounds like your son has a great dad. God bless.
Prayers outbound. Hang in there.
