Default Bad News

Hey All haven't been around in a couple of weeks, my step son was admitted to the hospital for bad headache's. They did a scan and found a tumor behind his eye, he ended up with an infection. They had to cut him open to drain the puss, and did a biopsy and found out it was cancer. They are trying to figure out what to do, either surgery or kemo! Needless to say it's been a bad couple of week's. Trying to play a little poker to take my mind of it for awhile.gl to all!

Thats the worst bad beat Ive ever heard.

I can't even imagine how you must feel.

Well I look at my life now and say its not as bad as I thought.

I don't know what to say except that I honestly hope everything turns out well for you. The best I can offer is that I will prey for your son. Keep the faith.

Joemac I am so sorry for what has happened to you and your step son. I will keep prayers going for a speedy recovery, and pray that the cancer goes into a full remission. It CAN happen and DOES happen so keep your faith strong...he needs you now more than ever...and I will pray for your strength during this time. God bless...

My wishes are with both you and your step son. I have a feeling it will be more on the ok side than anything, but that is just a feeling. Glad you took him to the doctors and found it before it got worse.

But I would not suggest playing poker (unless that is your outlet). Only because it is so easy to lose your mind with all the drama and the emotion roller coaster involved in it. Just make sure to stay safe, and hope for a speedy recovery!
