This is my first time using this message board, so bear w/me, please. I have only used the chat room. I have been in the Alanon program for several years. Two months ago, we found out that our son has cancer. Rhabdomyosarcoma. Very rare, especially for his age. Born Aug 04. He has been receiving chemotherapy treatments, radiation, 3 major surgeries and our lives will continue like this for about a year with more coming.
I am so grateful to all of you that have been there for me during these trials. Not having my son home w/me is so hard as a mother, and so hard for my husband when he is here and I am w/Bryon in Portland. So, we are not able to spend that much time together except for the weekend.
Having this program has been my goldmine! I know I would be a complete disaster if I didn't have program behind me. My meetings, talking to my sponsor and sponsees, talking to others in the program, comin' online and hitt'n meetings and chatting. You all have been so wonderful.
I appreciate all of the prayers that I have received. Thank you ever so much! If possible, please keep my family in your prayers!
am sorry about your son , but these kids are so strong they amaze me what they can go thru. And parents too such a strain ,your post kinda reminded me of our NON Promises , You will intuitivley know how to handle situations that would have baffled you in the past. Prayers for you and family Louise
Hi and welcome your special boy is born the day before me so I shall never forget his birthday. Sending you hugs from Australia and lots of strength. I work with young children and I have to say at times I think they are stronger than adults. They are very accepting of things. As a Mum I wish you did not have to go through this. Thinking of you with love. Leo xx

I am so glad that program is helping you in your hour of need. How fantastic that you can access it and use it to help you at such an incredibly stressful time. I am so happy you have found this group too. I hope you will let us know how you are doing and how your son is doing too.
