 this is rough...A mother has revealed the heartbreaking last conversation she had with her dying four old son. Ruth Scully, from Leonardtown, Maryland, lost her four-year-old son, Nolan, in February of 2017 to Rhabdomyosarcoma. The cancer, which affects the soft skeletal tissue, is highly aggressive and can spread quickly - becoming resistant to all forms of treatment. Nolan had just 15 months to fight the disease, from November 2015 to February 2017, before it took his life. In one of their last conversations together, she told her son that he 'didn't have to fight anymore' who said he would go to Heaven and 'play until you get there'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13402011/Mother-final-conversation-dying-son-cancer.html |

Rest in peace little buddy. Being a dad this shit always scares me. I try to love my kids as much as I can everyday. It's tough when they are being little shits, but I always try my best and give them hugs every chance I get.
Years ago someone here shared a story of a terminally ill kid that just wanted subs on YouTube. Sweet kid, I gave him views and likes as often as I could, tucked when the uploads stopped https://youtube.com/@theenchantedemeraldpickaxe1848?si=ODpVrYBYYVidvZDC |

Most of us bitch and moan everyday over petty little things while a baby and mother have to deal with terminal cancer. I’m ashamed of myself after reading that and am now doubly thankful for my two healthy kids. |

I fucking hate cancer.
I watched a life long friend lose her life to cancer. Broke my heart. Seeing it destroy her was difficult. But dammit seeing little kids in the cancer ward bothers me badly. Then we found out my wife had cancer. In all our cancer treatment visits it was very hard to see children suffering in the various ways cancers would affect them. It puts things in perspective. One thing that really struck me was.. Those little kids are tough, they would just soldier on like it was just another day. Because in too many cases, that is what they know. In too many cases spent more of their lives fighting that fucking abhorrent disease than not. Rip little man. |

Damn, just …..
Most of us have lost a loved to one to cancer at this point in our lives (30 and up crowd). The biggest fuck you is we still can’t do a fucking thing to stop it, i would have gladly trades places with my father just so he didn't have suffer and wither away. Cancer doesn’t care, think, feel, have a logic we can understand. There is no rhyme or reason for how it makes this spontaneous change. It is just a mutation of cells by nature, either naturally occurring or caused by environmental, chemical, or radiation exposure. It has always existed, in man and animal. It may be some evolution experiment gone wrong. It doesn’t matter at fucking all, we are powerless to stop this, we watch, pray, poison and still have a fucking funeral in the end. |

My 4 year old son recently defeated cancer. Seeing the year long process through my child was the most hardening experience of my life.
Along the way, I had many interactions at the pediatric hospital with other children and their families who you knew weren’t getting out of there. It was absolutely brutal. Things that used to make me feel a certain way have zero effect now. It has forever changed me. There are so many things we think are important you quickly realize are not important at all in the grand scheme of things. I’m not saying life is now dull and meaningless, I’m saying the opposite. It re-wired my brain to truly appreciate everything, and just be happy for every minute we have with our children. As someone said earlier, children are some of the most resilient creatures on the planet. They are so much braver and mentally stronger than pretty much all adults. My son and the other kids there would be playing and laughing even when you could tell they were so weak from radiation and chemo they could barely keep their eyes open or food in their belly. They never felt sorry for themselves. There is a special place in heaven for the children who fight that battle, and there is also one for the medical providers who spend all day making a families darkest days a little brighter in that situation. |

Yeah that gets you right in the feels. Heaven needed him more up there than down here. I know God loves all of his children, especially the young ones.
