Hey guys, got some awful news today. The pic above is of my 14 year old son Brendan. He's a great kid, honor student, and heavily involved in sports. He developed a cyst behind his knee a couple months ago and had a MRI done yesterday. Results came in on my lunch break today to find out its a Cancerous Tumor! Wtf.. Totally floored me. I'm a strong man but this phone call had me weeping like a child. Soo I won't be on Xbox for a bit as Brendan is done football and out of school for a bit as we are littered with doc. Appointments. We've got to head to Boston next week for a Biopsy and multiple body scans to see if the cancer has spread. Ugh.. love you all and hope to see you soon. Cheers Grassy

Thanks Lifty. It's been a tough few days as wifey is a wreck and Brendan is in denial. I'm caught between them trying to cope with it myself. I am glad that he is acting as nothing is wrong and being so positive but looking from the outside knowing he has cancer and seeing him so happy is hard to swallow. He's been saving his money for a long board for months now but keeps spending his money bringing his buddies out to eat. Lol. This morning I went to the local skate shop and bought him the best long board they had in stock even if he only has 4 days to ride it before we head to the Children's cancer hospital knowing that he has a chance of losing his leg if things are really bad. Ugh.

Stay strong Grassy! I know when either of my lil ones feel bad I feel horrible. Be strong for them, and take care of yourself brotha. On a positive note, not all cancer is as bad as it is made out to be. Whilst in middle school I had a cancerous tumor the size of a quarter on my back. I had it removed and went through some treatments, and within months it went into complete remission! Stay strong man. Sending positive vibes your way!

Thanks for the kind words Weebs. He is having his Biopsy right now, as his Tumor is really rare and they need to be 100% sure on what they are dealing with and the best way to remove it. Results from the Biopsy will be in next week then we gotta come back down to Boston for the surgery.
