Yo guys, just share some NS love for him

2 weeks ago (Christmas) he felt super weak so they rushed him to the hospital. Found out he was anemic and pumped 5 pints of blood into him, and diagnosed him with leukemia.

He started chemo a few days ago and was in a lot of pain.

Today his lung collapsed and wasnt able to breathe, but fortunately they responded quick and were able to blow it back up.

Anyways, just thought id pass the word. keep him in your thoughts.

feel free to text him

Damn. Sorry to say this but chemo will start to really kick in. Just to let you know. Keep up your good spirits. My mom finished up her 3 months of chemo last April. Made her weak, but she was always in good spirits.
