The night before I was leaving for a work trip, we noticed a lump on the side of our 3 year old son’s abdomen. Assuming it was a hernia or something fairly innocuous, I left and my wife said she would take him to the pediatrician for an exam.

He was sent straight to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital for testing, and it was discovered he had something known as “Wilm’s Tumor,” which is a very rare form of pediatric cancer.

I rushed back straight to the hospital, and made it before he underwent emergency surgery to have a tumor and one of his kidneys removed.

The surgery went well, and it sounds like we are now looking at about 6 months of radiation and chemo. He is in good spirits all things considered, and we will continue to be strong for him during this very difficult time.

I ask that you please keep our son in your prayers as he fights to beat this diagnosis and return to good health, and please hug those little ones extra hard tonight.

God’s plan can change, and a normal day can turn into the worst day without notice.

Sorry that you, your family and son are going through this. I pray for healing, strength and love for you all. As father of 2 I can’t imagine the terror you are living. Keep you head up brother.

I know others on here probably feel the same but if you need to chat please PM me. Everyone needs some support sometimes.

Nothing but prayers. It’s a great hospital I was there with my youngest about 5 years ago. Fortunately it was for just a broken bone compared to this but place was top notch and glad your son is in good hands

Bro that is a gut punch. Great to hear that the surgery was successful. I will pray for God’s will to be done & for His hands to be on all of your son’s HCPs. I’ll pray that God give you & your wife peace & comfort through this trying time as well. Stay strong brother.
