This is totally off topic but wanted to thank anyone and everyone who has ever looked at a thread I posted.
Every since Last Christmas, Dec 24th to be exact. My nephew was diagnosed with Cancer and it has been tremendously hard dealing with it. There have been other things happen in the family but this has hit me the hardest and I guess it is because I'm so close to my sister and nephew. Also, back at the end of October my favorite aunt, who was like a mother to me, passed away from Breast Cancer so it's just been rough.
On Christmas day last year, I was at the hospital visiting my nephew. He was 14 at the time and was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, stage3 almost stage 4. His lymph nodes, spleen were affected along with a mass behind his heart. He was homebound and missed the last 1/2 of the school year due to the treatments.
Well it's been a long road. He has been through all of the chemo and radiation. He was able to start school back this year. Today he had surgery to remove his spleen and port they had to put in for treatments and the doctor said it went all "routine". Routine just never sounded so good to me.
I just had to tell somebody.
I also want to thank anyone who I ever spoke with or any person who made any items I've purchased. Focusing on the 3d stuff is what helped me deal with all of the stress during this time. It's been a rough 9 months and I'm ready for a change of pace.
So a mighty big Thank you to you all!

Yes I know how you feel for any life blows like this does bring you down but do please try to be strong I know it is
hard to do
With all my prayers
I'm so sorry to hear of yet another good soul that's had a rough time of it. Been rough health wise and loosing precious ones for so many people this year. It's like the universe is calling allot of them home. My deepest condolences to you on the loss of your dear Auntie. But I'm glad your nephew is pulling through. He's young so hopefully all that poison from the radiation and chemo will dissipate and he will have a nice healthy life.
Late last year I lost my doctor and friend who has been treating my HIV for over 20 years to some mysterious ailment. Lost my best friend earlier this year to Pulmonary Fibrosis (died on Mothers Day) and a dear client of mine (who I get to see tomorrow finally) had a major heart attack, which she survived but was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, meaning her days are probably numbered too. Yea, it's been rough!
BIG HUGS
I have been through a lot with my health and my husband's. I sometimes think it is harder when it is someone you love than yourself. I am glad you shared with us and what you wrote sounds so very positive. Hope your nephew gets strong and well.
So glad to hear that things are getting better! Thanks for sharing your feeling with us, too. As a cancer survivor I can understand all of the emotions and questions that you have plowed through, and also understand your current happiness at achieving "routine" status. Experience each new day as an experience and a gift, and may the Great Artist watch over all of your family and deliver you a spectacular masterpiece!!
Thank you all for the kind comments! It just seems that so many things happen to so many people these days.
Always good news to hear. Fsck Cancer!
Had a friend of mine who had testicular cancer and beat it. I remember on his 40th birthday he said "When I was young I used to fear growing old until I realized there are worse things".
His aunt gave him a birthday card which read "Have a ball on your birthday!" which he got a really big laugh out of.
My prayers are with you and your nephew. I pray he has a long and healthy life.
Best wishes to you and your family. I've been there. Hang in there and lets hope for the best!
Best wishes to you and your nephew.
It is always good to hear someone who has gone through a hard road and making it to the other side. God bless you and your family!
So glad your nephew is fighting back and all went well with his latest surgery. Such a lot for a youngster to go through and I can only imagine how worried sick you've been. Sorry too about the loss of your dear aunt.
It's good to know your 3d world has helped you to get through. I hope now you can continue to create art with a lighter heart and more enjoyment.
That is way too young to have to cope with that, and to worry about it in the future. I hope for only great things for him and that he never has to go through this again and can get it off his mind. Thinking about you and Sunshine Hugs from Florida.
That is soooo funny....I got a really big kick out of that myself. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks! I'm looking forward to today, hoping for some good news this morning. I know last night was a little rough for him. He was in a lot of pain and requested pain meds. That says a lot. He usually declines them so if he's asking then he's hurting.
As a Cancer survivor I can tell you how important the support of family and friends are when going through this ordeal.
Wishing your nephew a long and healthy life.
Prayers for your nephew and your family from the other side of the world.
My brother lost his eldest 6 years ago to non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She was 13. My parents are cancer survivors. Prayers and well-wishes to the survivors and the posters on this thread. Thank you all for being <3</p>
We just found out the other week that my uncle has cancer in two places, his lungs and hid spine. But the ironic thing is, he is a Cancer himself, so he's being very stubborn and emotionally difficult about moving in with one of the extended family to take care of him.
Sorry to hear about everyone who has/had cancer. It is an evil thing.
Update on my nephew. There were a few minor complications but my nephew came home from the hospital today. He is tired, sore, and having a great difficulty walking but all in all it went well.
Now to just give him some time for this body to heal and get back into ship shape.
One cool thing, the doctors recommended him for the Make-a-Wish foundation. It was a shock to my nephew. It wasn't something they even had a thought or clue about other than hearing the name once or twice in the past. So he'll get to make a wish sometime next year.
I think he's already decided but that will give his body some time to recuperate. He really is a good kid and I think he did amazing through all of this.
