wow Golfer, that is way above the scope of this thread. Glad to hear it though. How old is he now? when was the battle with cancer?
He was born with it but it wasn't caught until he was 3 months old (actually the docs said it more than likely started the day he was conceived). Tumor started in his abdomen and grew into his spinal column crushing his spinal cord. Stage 4 neuroblastoma. He had surgery right away to remove the portion of the tumor in his spinal column and a year of intensive chemo then a surgery to remove the shrunken tumor from his abdomen (it was originally to large and intertwined to remove). He's doing great now. Even with all the original problems, and the several surgeries since (5, if i recall right), lose of about 90% use of his legs, you'd never met a kid that has a more positive attitude than him. He's definitely my hero. Any time I feel like life's getting me down I just look at or think of him and realize just how good life is.
Wow Golfer, wow... I cannot describe what I feel.
