What kind of "god" gives children leukemia anyway? Sounds like a prick to me.
I wont be praying to any "god", but I'm sure science and technology will heal your child.
I wish your little man the best.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your family!

As a father of 3 I can't imagine what you are going through, but know that all of this positive karma and energy will heal your child quickly ....

3 good resources I would want to know about: the China study (book); anti-cancer (book) the MD author had brain cancer and has been cancer free many years now; and forbidden cures ( search YouTube )

Alkalinity and laughter kill cancer cells!

Speak for yourself. Great medical care and a treatment plan founded on solid science is what will heal this child. So this is what I wish them the best of luck in finding.

Good luck and I will be thinking of this child giving my best wishes.

 

 

 

 

I learned of this thread through a friend/doctor/surfer in our small local community and we are also very appreciative to my surfing buddy Paul (equipeola) who probably misses me taking all the waves in the backyard for posting it.    So many of you have contacted us offline too.

In this time of extreme emotions for our family during this next challenge, it’s brought solace to know that powerful positive energy in so many forms is being directed toward our son from the 2ndlight community. 

It’s like we know we’re about to endure a heavy multi-wave hold down and have just been hit by the first wave in the set, but we all took a full deep breath before we went under together and we are focused on staying relaxed and doing what is necessary to reach the surface and paddle back out to the point again. 

We also know we’re not alone in the water and that means so much more than I can put into my own words...

I’ve come to realize 2ndlight is more than just a forum, it’s a community of caring people who surf and I’m fortunate to be a part of it with close friends, neighbors, and so many others… 2ndlight was our source for identifying “local surfers in need” to sponsor for our CERTON golf tournaments, including Eddie Guilbeau and Matt Bellina, who are both reaping the benefits of good vibes and 2ndlight community support.  We’ve been very fortunate in our lives and have grown much stronger through adversity.

I’ll provide an update for those interested and I would also like to offer our family’s help to anyone that may need it in the future… this can come in many forms, even if it’s just sharing information related to our experience as it continues to develop.  Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital and the team of doctors in Rydyr’s corner have also been invaluable.  I’m very pragmatic in how I handle situations and our 10 year old boy is very mature making it easy for me to communicate with him on an adult level about all aspects of what is happening to him.  Most of the doctors have found this to be a breath of fresh air.  Rydyr even agreed to donate additional bone marrow samples to cancer research to help the science behind treatment and a potential cures for leukemia and that made me a very proud Dad. I've also shed a ton of tears.

 

What we know now:

The diagnosis is “pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia” or “pre-B cell ALL”.  It is the most common in children and fortunately the most likely to be cured.

Treatment:

INTENSE chemotherapy for the first 28 days, which involves 4 different drugs, 3 of which are administered via IV port to be installed in his next procedure along with a spinal tap and 1 of which is taken orally. 

Prognosis:

97% probability of “remission” after 28 days, where “remission” means the levels of lymphoblasts in his blood are less than 0.01%.  Regardless of whether the treatment is successful, meaning he achieves “remission”, the chemotherapy continues for several 57 day blocks with 1 week recovery periods in between to completely eradicate the cancerous cells.

 

Rydyr is doing great, his spirits are high, he's a stubborn boy who loves life and is ready to fight, and the doctors are optimistic, thank you for all your strength and encouragement… keep it flowing it does make a difference and we’ll be back out in the lineup soon.

I feel really bad for you. I can't even imagine what you are going through and really don't know what to say other than we are here for you. You rock Certon! Hope you, your son, and family the best and I hope you beat this.

X2.

You have such positive energy in your posts here. Hang on to it for your son and family.

Keep us posted, if/when you can.

Oh, and, be sure to let Rydyr know that chicks think that a cleanly shaven head is mucho sexy! Let's hope that he gets some really hot nurses! Let him have a laugh about something.

All the best and good luck!!

Certon,
Your stoke and energy alone will carry your son to recovery.
The closest thing I have to your situation is my brother's son in 1991 who was hammered by an unknown virus that paralyzed him for 2 years.
That boy just graduated from UF with 3 engineering degrees.
God speed to your son and thankful you and your wife have the energy to overcome!

Keeping your family in my prayers.

Ongoing prayers from this corner of the world as well. And of what I've read, A.L.L. is very treatable. Best wishes.
