Our four year-old son, Dashiell, has been diagnosed with cancer. We are in the University hospital and have a long road to travel.

I would appreciate your keeping him, his brothers, and his mother in your thoughts.

We are awaiting more imaging, then a transfusion, then hopefully surgery, but the schedule is dependent on test results.

Words are insufficient right now.

Brian, we are offering up prayers for your family. Other than that I have no words that could possibly comfort you I'm afraid. This is every parent's nightmare. My wife burst into tears when I read your post to her.

I am certain you and the wife are holding that boy tight in your arms. Continue to do so (as I know you will) and remember that you are held in the arms of your friends and family. Small consolation perhaps, but there we are.

I know I'm new here and ya'll don't know me. However, If you would like to drop me a line, I can share a bit more of my own testimony. If you'd like.

Brian, as a father I am so saddened by this. I have no words to make anything better. I can only say I will pray for his recovery and for peace of mind and spirit for your family as well as for your son. I am choked up just typing this. I have no idea what I could do other than pray, but if there is anything please do not hesitate.

We will certainly keep your son and you all in our prayers.

Prayers for you and your family, Brian, I'm sorry to hear this.

All you guys are in my prayers Brian

Prayer's up!

Thank you, each of you. I appreciate your compassion and strength.

We are upside down now, and obviously, every thing in our lives has changed dramatically in the past 48 hours.

The cancer has been tentatively identified as hepatoblastoma, via blood markers and imaging The good news is that it appears to be curable, after resection of the mass and then six months of chemo. A substantial portion of his liver will be removed, with the hope that it will regenerate.

Our best information is that survival rates of children treated this way are high. We are hopeful. But knowing what he will endure in the next year breaks my heart, and I am concerned for the physical and emotional well being of his brothers and mother.

I thank you all for your thoughts and prayers; they have eased some of the aching.
