I appreciate that, I do not know what to say either. It is one of lifes disappointments that we have no control over, that is what is so frustrating, and what seems so unfair. We now that life is neither fair or unfair, but when it happens to you, it is hard to accept anyway. DLU a écrit : > Obituary > > http://online.statesmanjournal.com/obituaries/obituary.cfm?i=31177 So young ! I share your sorrow... A new angel stays up you I have a son who is fighting and we are so powerless. Take care and keep faith ! So sad, words seem inadequate. Alex Very sorry about his loss. Jackie > So sad, words seem inadequate. Alex > Very sorry about his loss. > Jackie > >>So sad, words seem inadequate. Alex Thank you all for your support. It is my daughter whom I cry for. Her only child and she raised him mostly alone. He was no indulged on but she provided him with life's necessities and spent the last 15 months taking him to chemo, radiation, operations, and all the other medical treatments that he needed. It has left a real void in her life which will never be filled. I suppose she will get on with life sometime in the future but in the meantime it will be really hard for her to continue on. > DLU a écrit : > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Take care and keep faith ! You do what you can an hope for the best. May your son win his fight. I know the feeling of hopelessness, it is one that no one should have to suffer. I certainly hope your son will make it. Thank you for your thoughts. I am so very sorry for your loss. Gail >> DLU a écrit : >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Thank you for your thoughts. Familial polyposis coli (familial adenomatous polyposis or FAP) If we had known we would have started examinations at a young age. Unfortunately his father was not there to tell us, and apparently he did not know. Brian's grand parents on his fathers side did not seem to know either. This is a genetic disease. > Familial polyposis coli (familial adenomatous polyposis or FAP) > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Brian's grand parents on his fathers side did not seem to know either. > This is a genetic disease. Hello DLU, Planning colonoscopies at an earlier age for family? I just posted a "news" article, on sci.med.diseases.cancer, a few days before you told us about your grandson. It was about genetic testing and said that not all who tested positive, get the cancer. The article leans towards being put on a liver transplant list. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6094927,00.html I don't know that I"d go for (the idea of) a liver transplant for a child, if there's no certainty that the child would get the cancer. Your thoughts? I'm still looking for the (childhood liver cancer) name. On search, I get either "hepatoma" or hepatoblastoma". J >>Familial polyposis coli (familial adenomatous polyposis or FAP) >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > either "hepatoma" or hepatoblastoma". > J I do not know if early colonoscopies would have been planned or not. However, Brian was not doing well in school his last year or so and it may have been due to anemia caused by the FAP. There may be other symptoms also. It was the liver cancer that was beyond treatment however that eventually caused his death. Unfortunately the doctors said they cold not operate o the FAP until they removed the cancer. In the fifteen months after the cancer was discovered, it had spread to the rest of his system and he did not have a chance beyond that. Yes, I think if I was aware of the genetic aspect, I would be watching a child from and early age. If early colonoscopies are what it takes, I would do so. > >>Familial polyposis coli (familial adenomatous polyposis or FAP) > >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > child from and early age.

J >>>>Familial polyposis coli (familial adenomatous polyposis or FAP) >>>> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Do kids on Brian's father's side ( cousins) need to get checked as well? > J As I understand it I would think so. As I said, I am not well versed in this and basically it is my daughter who gave me most of the information. |
