Brain Cancer
 

:crying: So, i work with special needs kids. Today i got news that one of the kids is dying. He got brain cancer when he was 5, and the treatment they gave him, kept his brain and mentality at a five year old level. He is now 16, and a few days ago went in for his yearly MRI, and he has another tumor. It is so bad that they cant operate and they cant do any treatment. He has about 2 more months. The sad thing is that because of the tumor and treatment when he was 5, he is special needs, and doesn't completly understand that he is that sick. He tells me all the time that he is going to grow up to be 100, and be big and strong. Idk what im going to do, that little boy means the world to me. he is going to try to go to school when he feels well enough, but he has a feeding tube now because he cant keep anything down. This is so sureal to me right now. We all new he was sick, but last MRI they said he had like 6 years. Im a mess, and ive completly broken down.:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

idk what im going to do

I'm so sorry to hear about this young person. It must be incredibly difficult for you and I am lucky to say I haven't been in this situation myself so I can only empathise with how you must be feeling. I wish I had something useful to say but I just wanted to let you know I read your post & I understand where you are coming from. Thinking of you both xxx

I'm very sorry to hear this. Make the most of the time you have with him, and I hope you can stay strong for him. Take care x

In a way I can relate to how you are feeling. During the summer I worker in a hospital with pediatric cancer patients (some of which were terminal) and very sick babies in the NICU. It is very hard to cope when you know someone is ideing and they don't understand. I am so sorry that all this is happening.
If you ever want to talk, PM me anytime<3

Please PM if ever you feel the need/would like to. It would always be good to hear from you and to know how you/this young genteman is doing. Please keep us updated.

Thanx everyone for the support. It means alot. I hope he is well enough to come back to school on monday, if he is i will update how he is doing.

I'm so sorry, thinking of you both xxx

I'm so sorry. I will be thinking of both of you. Cancer is such an evil thing x

He is still not well enough to come to school.... :(

its been a week since i found out and i still have no word on how he is doing

*hugs* Is there anyone you can ask about how he's doing?

Thinking of you both x

He passed away... and now i dont know what im going to do with myself. I feel so numb...

*cuddles*

I'm so so sorry. I know it's hard but try to remember he's not in pain now. He can do all those things he couldn't before. He'll be happy now.

Try to concentrate on yourself and letting yourself go through the grieving process. Could you do something in his memory? When my friend died of cancer my counsellor suggested I wrote her a letter, attached it to a helium balloon and then let it go. Feeling numb is ok, it's a natural reaction and when that turns to hurt, that too will pass in time.

I'm so sorry to hear your news and if you ever want to talk please feel free to PM me.

Take care,

*lots of hugs*

well im getting a tattoo in his memory... he was that important to me.... made that much of a positive impact on my life.
But i dont deal with loss well... so ive kinda broke down and cut alot.

A tattoo is a nice idea, cos then he can be part of you forever too. Im so sorry this has happened to you hun. Take care xx

My thoughts are with ya at this time! The only consolation is that now he's not in anymore pain! God Bless ya! x

*cuddles*
The tattoo's a great idea =)
