Most of you remember Nancy's (OneEyeBlind) nephew, Christopher? Remember, he had lost his leg to cancer, years ago, and the cancer has recently returned? Well, he is going through a VERY rough time right now. He and his family need your prayers and vibes. Times have not been very good for him, of late. Let's show him we are all still here for him.
For those of you who do not still have his address, here it is:
Christopher Smith
1003 Dellville Rd.
Duncannon, PA 17020
Let him and his family know we still care!
Chuck

PS: OneEyeBlind's computer is down right now ... trojan horse ...

I'm still on and off sporadically. So if I dissapear ... don't worry.
Christopher is now going to have to have stem cell replacement done. It's a procedure much like a bone marrow transplant although his will be done with blood. The process will take 2 - 3 months (most of the time hospitalized). They will give him some massive doses of chem/radiation to kill off all the cancer cells they can. They will then drain his blood and harvest the stem cells from it, and transfuse it back in. This "harvesting" will then be followed by massive doses of chemo and radiation. At this point he will have no imune system and will be in isolation. The harvested stem cells will then be placed back into his body for regeneration and hopefully the imune system will begin to regenerate.
He is having this done because the chemo is not working the way they had hoped and he is now suffering from bleeding/hemoraging due to the low blood counts and massive chemotherapy.
They are hoping to be able to wait until after Christmas to do this procedure ... we'll see. We take it one day at a time. And all the while the boy still doesn't complain. His smile isn't quite as bright as it used to be, but we are working on that ! We had a lovely Thanksgiving with all the family rallying together.
Prayers and cards are appreciated. Thanks Chuck for posting for me.

I dont care if you post to it or not....what I do care about is that you copy that damn address down and send this kid a card. dont forget to write "Clusterbud" somewhere on it, this kid did not ask for this shit just like you did not ask for CH so show him you have his back when he really needs it!!!!
Chris is now an honorary clusterhead.....now DO IT!!!

Vibes and Cards going up.
What can Christopher HAVE in isolation? Does it have to be sterile? He's probably got all the game systems and a laptop, right? What else can we send? Music cd's? What kind of music is he into?
Thanks,
Mast

It never ends I guess.
You have my wishes and vibes.
I like Elaine's idea. I'm in if it that's the plan. With a lot of us, it can be something really nice.

I will be more than happy to send a card out to this young lad. Do you have a separate address for a donation ?
