I have not been doing a whole lot of research about Isaac's condition in fear that it will bring more stress than what we are already going through.
Since I have been home for the past few days, I have a little more time to myself that I need. (No baby to run after... Christmas gifts and family visiting kept my other 3 pretty busy...) So, there I sat - reading and reading and reading.
I realized the rarity of this cancer. Out of the 60 million children living in the United States today, it only affects 500 children per calender year. The odds of my child being 1 of those 500... Perhaps I should go buy a lottery ticket tonight?

Brandi, I understand the rarity but I have to tell you is so weird is Isaac is the 3rd little boy I have known to be diagnosed with it. 1 is completely better after 18 months and the other is 6 months in and doing great. I believe you guys can fight it and beat it. You are in my thoughts always!

Yes, buy the lotto ticket. :)
ReplyDeleteI read the same thing just now. I also read that it is very treatable and the prognosis is great! I hope that fact gives you a little comfort. I will definitely be keeping you, him and the entire family in my prayers. How is dad doing with all the news, besides being your rock?
