I know I’m pretty new here, but I’m hoping the incredible spirit I’ve seen in this board will show itself again here. A couple weeks ago Little Tassie emailed me out of the blue, and since then I’ve gotten to know a little about her.
She’s a wonderful person, like all of you, whose husband died about 3 years ago from cancer. Her 4 year-old son, Sonny, also has cancer. A couple days ago, Tassie emailed me that Sonny’s cancer was finally in remission. I was so happy for her!
But today she wrote that Sonny had collapsed and is now in a coma. I’m hoping all you good people will take a minute and pray for Sonny’s recovery and good health. I know I will.
Tassie, I hope everything turns out well, and I’m so sorry to hear about this! Any support I can give you from this side of the world is yours.
I just sent her an email I hope to hear from her soon. Tassie, know we are all sending prayers, good vibes, good wishes and or anything else any of us believe in your and Sonnys way !
Yikes. Hadn’t opened this thread yet - didn’t realise it was this serious.
Tassie, you are no doubt a very brave woman, judging by what you’ve been through already. I hope your son will recover, and I hope that you’re coping with things.
Tassie, I hope you know by now from our emails that I’ll support you anyway I can through this. Even if it means just sitting on the other side of the phone while you cry your eyes out. Take care, sweetie, and people on this board will be here for you too. Last summer I was feeling alone and friendless and made a post here. I was stunned at the number of people willing to help me. We’ll help you too, Tassie. Just remember you’re not alone and you have friends here.
My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you right now. If you ever need anything, and I mean anything that I can possibly do, just ask. Until then, I’ll keep thinking the good thoughts.
I have said a prayer for you and your son, Tassie. I can only imagine how frightened you must be right now. My thoughts are with you and Sonny in the hopes that he makes a full recovery.
I am so truly sorry for all that you have gone through, and all that is happening now.
You have my prayers, and my positive healing thoughts coming your way. I wish there was more I could do. I lost my mom and brother to cancer one year apart. So I do have some idea how awful this is for you.
Please email me if you want to vent, or cry on my shoulder, or just talk about how you are feeling to someone who cares and understands, at least in part. scotticher@earthlink.net
I send all the Goddess’ blessings to you and your son. You have tons of people on this thread to talk to. Please use one of us if you need it. We are here for you.
I can be reached a ton of ways if you need a friend.
You and your son are in my thoughts. I wish things would be different, life sucks but I pray for you that this is different in it’s outcome.
The SDMBers and 3FMBers are thinking about you and your son. Smile in the knowledge that if you need to let it all out you can turn to either/both boards and let your feelings come through. I have gone through a smaller, but similar issue (in the scheme of things) and never got more than support and caring than I did from the boards.
