We could use some prayers

[Claymore]

So, today we got some bad news. My sister used to be a full-time nanny for this family, so we've known this little boy since he was born. He had a rare form of brain cancer when he was 4, one of the oldest cases they'd ever seen of this particular case, so they thought he had a better shot than most at surviving. It was an agonizing few years, but he seemed to have made it through the scary stuff. He still has constant surgeries, but nothing major. He's 11 years old now.

Well he complains about having headaches this week. They just found out that he has several tumors. They're putting him into emergency surgery tomorrow. They're apparently going to have to remove "a significant amount of brain matter", from what I've gathered. So... they don't think he's going to make it.

I'm just sitting here, on the verge of bawling my eyes out, and I just wish there was something I could do. I don't even believe in God, but I don't know what else to do but pray. I just want this little boy to make it and finally have a real life free of this nonsense.

If anyone has any sort of faith, please send a prayer for this boy and his family.

That is heart breaking to hear. I will pray for him.

I'm so sorry this hear this.

[Tuor]

My hopes are on that boy, he is for sure a warrior.

[Pann]

It's got a little dusty in here after reading that.

My hopes are with the young lad and his family and friends.

[Fencers]

Sorry to hear this. Best wishes to the child and family.

Done! Seriously FUCK Cancer, nobody deserves this. May the love you need surround you and provide healing.

[Zaktar]

That's awful, I hope the surgeons are really capable and this little boy can pull through.

Mod Edit: You likely meant well, but medical advice is not permitted.
That being said it is shitty and no one should have to go through all that at those ages.

No!

You need to knock that shit off. I don’t normally do this but.

The bottom line on cannabidiol

Some CBD manufacturers have come under government scrutiny for wild, indefensible claims, such that CBD is a cure-all for cancer, which it is not. We need more research but CBD may be prove to be an option for managing anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. Without sufficient high-quality evidence in human studies we can’t pinpoint effective doses, and because CBD is currently is mostly available as an unregulated supplement, it’s difficult to know exactly what you are getting. If you decide to try CBD, talk with your doctor — if for no other reason than to make sure it won’t affect other medications you are taking.

The OP didn’t ask for medical advice and you are not qualified to give any.

Thoughts and prayers has become a meme in recent times but sometimes we really mean it. Hoping for the best @Claymore. For peace, clarity, and, strength to to you, your family, the doctors and staff, but most importantly the little boy. You are not alone.

We truly wish for the best and hope that things are successful for him and those around him. For now, this thread is closed.
