Update on little Bradley, not sounding

16 years ago

very good. As they are talking over quality of life,

as opposed quantity. There is another surgery that

the doctors would like to do, but and cause paralysis, loss of hearing, tracheotomy, and a permanent feeding

tube.

This young family relly needs our mojo now.

I try to keep updated on Bradley and he is tops in my prayers every day.

It must be heartbreaking and exhausting for his parents... and now having to make these hard decisions regarding his treatment.

I don't always respond to your posts about Bradley, because I just don't know what to say. But I do keep him in my night prayers and now, I'll pray for the surgeon, too. Bless him for not giving up on the little guy.

Thanks Sandy. I tried to see this last night and evidently hadn't been posted on line then. Bradley is such a little fighter. I hope the new treatment works really good for him. Jane

What are the plans to eliminate (and restrain from re-growth) the remaining 10% of this tumor? Is the second tumor of the same type? I don't want to 'rain' on the good news of this surgical procedure, but there could be a very long battle ahead and an uncertain outcome. Mom, Dad and family need to pace themselves as best they can and continue to *share the burden*. Our family has been witnessing a similar situation. Our DIL's niece will be four in July. Surgery removed most of her cancer (neuroblastoma) in June 2009. She has been in and out of hospital (mostly in) for chemo and radiation since then, and that will continue until mid-September. Nearly half her life has been short periods of normalcy and long periods of hospitalization and severe pain. One parent or the other has been with her constantly. There is a sister, two years older, at home. Present tests show her cancer-free, but recurrence is frequent with this type of cancer; she will be tested and monitored for years. It's been totally draining for the whole family. Mom's an MD whose partners have rallied to take on her caseload -- fortunately she has fantastic health coverage. Dad has had to curtail some of the travel his work requires. Sister has come through resentment of all the time her parents have to take away from her, but has worries no Kindergartener should have to bear. Our DS, DIL and DGS will be driving across country to provide some respite for the family this summer -- as they did last summer. DIL's mother has flown back and forth frequently to do the same. The family has dear friends and neighbors who also pitch in. I just wanted to remind everyone at the KT how important ALL continuing support can be!

Thx Kat

Little Bradley is always in my prayers.

My little neighbor boy is almost 8yrs old & he has a trach, feeding tube, hearing aids,braces on his legs & can't open his mouth to eat & seriously, you'd never know anything was wrong with him! He's as cute, pesty & bratty as the other neighbor boys! LOL Love him to pieces!

I just don't know if I could do it to him again...but I've never had to face anything like that...I hope I never have to.

How awful for all of them...

I just can't hardly stand to think of him having to go through it again. Poor little guy. I almost think I'd say no...no more...make him comfortable, take him home and hold him and love him . You could go crazy just trying to know what to do.
