It is hard for anybody who is 13 years old and find out they have a tumor 14 years old when they find out its malignent.

The support patrick received nationally and who had no connection to our family at all and just reached out because they had Thyroid Cancer and wanted us to know how the journey was going to be. It was a lot support it was really helpful to help me get thru it. Patrick had the malignent and his first question after surgery. Wether it was going to stunt his growth and the doctor explained to him that is you pituitary gland not your thyroid so he breathed a sigh of relief he has grown about 8 inches since he got sick so the doctor was right about that. By june of 2014 patrick was cancer free but his battle with cancer changed their lives. I dont think i live and die with every possession like i once did i dont think you will see a major change in my intensity level. Patrick really appreciated the support he received so he reached out to an indiana girl that was also was able to help somebody else out with what i went thru and guide her and help get thru it. Fran who lost both of his parents to cancer is fighting back thru coaches versus cancer and he has even lobbied on capitol hill for Cancer Research funding.
